I've said it before and I'll say it again: the rail network in Glasgow is great! And if, like me, you wish to get a little further out into the shires around the Glasgow strath, then train and bike it! Naturally, it helps if, like me, you live next to four different rail lines, and are fifteen minutes away from the city centre's hubs of Queen Street and Central stations. But even if you don't, in Glasgow, you're never far away from a railway.
This morning, I jumped across the motorway and onto the train (with bike) ate Dumbreck station. From here, it's a mere 13 minutes along the bucolic backline to Paisley Canal and the Sustrans cycle way down to the coast. This morning, I decided to head for Langbank (or Amalfi as I have now named it) via Bridge of Weir and the leisure lanes of Renfrewshire.
The idyllic leisure lanes between Bridge of Weir and the Clyde.
The cloud cover brings with it a smorgasbord of effects and qualities which work their way into the bodymind rendering it no longer simply 'bodymind' but 'body-mind-earth'.
Suddenly, after a couple of hours of darkness, the light spills forth... atop Barscube Hill.
Up and over. Head down through Langbank golf course (there's a wee path-right of way that leads you down the 17 and 18th to the clubhouse. Then take the little steep lane on your right down to Langbank train station.
Opposite the rock. Having the train to take you back after a fairly energetic cycle is always a joy! Thank-you again Scotrail ;)
