King of Cool: My New Favourite Downhill

Steve McQueen - cool?

You ain't seen cool until you've seen yourself on a bicycle heading downhill from the Gleniffer Braes through Glenburn and Carraigehill into the great city of Paisley.

 


This is my new favourite downhill. Try it, you won't be disappointed. Just keep your fingers on those brakes at that initial steep part, coming down from Glenburn Reservoir or Paisley Golf Course. But once you hit the housing estate, it's smooth soaring all the way with a brief dismount at the ultra steep Park Road until we get to the top and then we're back on again at arguably the coolest cornering you've ever seen as we exit Park Road (just after Brodie Park) and plough down Calside Road towards Paisley Canal train station.

Beautiful!

 












As soon as you see this, you can ease off the brakes and start freewheeling all the way more or less to Park Drive. Just watch out for stray kids and dodgy car drivers.
