Highlight • Cycleway

You've got the option of both the Carmunnock route, which is a bit shorter, or towards Cathkin High / EK expressway. If you go the EK route, you can continue the speed all the way down through Burnside to Rutherglen mainstreet.

Not many junctions for cars to come out, and pretty smooth corners even 60kmh+
