as a fetal expat from the motherland, I have never really had opportunity to get out on the bike with any great purpose in recent years when i've been back home.
as a youth, if we did take the bikes with us when we went to see the family, excursions were normally limited to a ride around the cumbrae & lunch by bbq in fintry bay.
the majority of the family are based in & around paisley, namely glenburn & barrhead with one branch out in fairlie. If I had opportunity to take the bike up with me on flying visits to the grandparents, is there anything worth riding nearby to any of the 3 locations? Ideally, i can leave the missus & the nipper to go and wander around a garden centre or two or visit friends while I get out & ride some decent trails without having to drive to them from where we would be staying.
with that said, are there any good routes in the gleniffer braes worth riding up to or alternatively, anything overlooking largs / fairlie or ardrossan??
cheers chaps.
