| Cycle Steps |
| 1. Starting in Glasgow at Bell's Bridge head on to the Forth and Clyde canal path. |
|
| 2. Heading along this canal path you will pass smaller towns such as Bishopbriggs, and then shortly after Cawder golf club. |
|
| 3. Another few miles along, there is quite often canal boats situated here, just outside the Stables Pub, just as you cross under Kirkintilloch road. |
|
| 4. Another 2 miles and you will come into Kirkintilloch town centre. At this point you have to come off the path briefly, cross a main road and down the other side to continue. |
|
| 5. Continuing on the canal path for a further 4 miles you will eventually come into Kilsyth. There is few good challenges in Kilsyth too, especially the Tak-Ma-Doon road. |
|
| 6. Continuing through Kilsyth on the canal path, for a further 7 miles you will eventually come to the Falkirk wheel. There is a restaurant here, so if you are turning around and going back it would be best to get something to eat at this point. |
|
| 7. At this point you can continue on to Edinburgh, but there is another route for this. |
