Mark O Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Did one the other week there, McB. If its not deemed too impolite to ask, how far south do you want to go?!!! Rednecks or duelling banjos? How does this grab you? Miller Street, Paisley, Clarkston, E. Kilbride, Strathaven then either Muirkirk Sorn and Catrine and back to Galston before heading to Moscow and Fenwick and a return to Miller street via Stewarton, Dunlop, Luggie and Howwood. Alternative would be to head straight to Glaston from Strathaven. Longer route 100 ish I guess. For shorter route I know a slight variation on the getting to Strathaven bit that involves a hill! Only naff bit is getting through EK, but should be quiet at that time of the morning and no worse than going along the A78 through Greenock in terms of traffic truth be told. All dual carriage way and roundabouts until you hit the Strathaven Road. Only a suggestion mind Davie may have a hankering for undiscovered or long forgotten country lanes, littered with the bones of dead cyclists, ruts, gravel and potholes!!! You get Ayrshire but from a Lanarkshire perspective. Any coffee/lunch stop would be random and pot luck M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavieB Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Mark, My farmwatch specials will be reserved for my own private pleasure to ensure the tranquility I seek is not drowned out by greets and groans. There are some sections which don't have a big white line down the middle but I was going to suggest Transmitter Hill, a known quantity and bale out options available. The fact that it bypasses EK is at least a positive. Only issue may be keeping it moving along especially if weather continues to be dire, on this point I thought the slightly different format of rolling over the top of hills and giving people the opportunity to work back on worked well on Sunday....and before anybody jumps in we did re-group at the bottom of the descents.
