[@throwaway8413]

Awsone video, sunset is absolutely stunning. Music was perfect. You get better with every video. Largs tourist board should use this video to promote their loveiy seaside town. Keep het Lit

[@francesmorris4907]

Fab video ! You put such a lot of work into this, as you do with them all … a real labour of love . The sunset at the end is absolutely spectacular! Also , the music is so perfect for the video , well done Chas, 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@billycompston5260]

When I seen you were leaving the cycle route for the Auchentiber Road I thought Oh naw!! I went this way once. And never again. And I was on my mountain bike. Now if I go this way to Largs I just drop down and take the Esplanade and Shore Road. But that wouldn't be possible for you on such a late start. Brilliant video. Really enjoyed it.

[@glasgowcycles]

The amount of swearing that I had to cut from that part 😂 next time I will leave earlier and go the esplanade way 😁

[@tefer1982]

Great video and nice touches with the info on historical parts. 👌

[@pauladams2454]

Enjoyed that! Nice mix of drone footage, route information and historical details. I’m amazed you didn’t puncture going along the really rough sections. Look forward to next one 👍

[@barryjohnston4306]

A very enjoyable video of what looks like a cracking trip! Hope you enjoyed the chips in Largs - you sure deserved them! Thanks for sharing the trip and route.

[@tonywatson8101]

Excellent video Charles. You're a brave man taking on the Auchentiber to Loch Thom road in March. I did it last summer having ridden up the NCR 7 from Kilbirnie. Nice info-piece on the "The Lost 17". I've passed them a few times and (shame on me!) often wondered what they were about!?. Now I know. Thank you.

[@rossmclelland]

What a wonderful sunset, I hope you got chips & a hassle free train journey after that route. Always fun to see a mixture of routes I know & ones I dont. I love the Gourock run in the summer, only got as far as Inverkip that way before running out of daylight a couple of summers back. It’s also fun to see what a different route you take to get to Pollok park, there’s clearly a wee bit more cycle infrastructure popped up on the south side. I’m just in Garnethill & that cycle route down Sauchiehall st gets journeys south off to a good start. Can’t wait for spring to do it’s thing & start trying to get out the city on the bike. Awesome video as always, I look forward to the next one.

[@glasgowcycles]

The train journey was hassle free. Think getting it at half six helped me miss the madness. I’m really looking forward to better weather ahead.

[@tombarry2523]

Well timed. Might do the same trip someday.

[@DG.ADVENTURES]

Your videos are always a pleasure to watch mate... absolutely class again 🫡🚴‍♂️

[@Danzo1957]

Wonderful! Thank You.

[@SwampyDuckRidesAgain3636]

Oh goodie you’ve just pointed out a “road” I’ve not done. I’ve never done that Auchentiber road or along past the Gryffe Reservoir so I’ll be getting on to that! Thanks for sharing.

[@glasgowcycles]

Make sure you use the gravel bike 😂

[@SwampyDuckRidesAgain3636]

Yes I will do, it’s wearing 47’s. I think the MTB would be overkill though it’s better at coping with the beach on the way back along the costal trail.

[@malcolmfoy6304]

Another great wee video and you must also put lot of effort in your editing polished and informative Well done

[@paulklein2266]

Inspired by this video I did the exact same route over to Largs. Stunning scenery, great climbs and then that rough section of road! Well done on getting over that on a road bike, I had a tourer with 38c gravel tyres and it was still a challenge 😂 Love your videos, keep up the great work.

[@jasonrodwell5316]

I've never tried this particular route into large.. considering having a wander up there.

[@jazz185]

That rough track between Garshangan and Dowries farm used to be driveable by car forty years ago. The road around Loch Thom and then on to Largs is a special run on a bike. Done this route many times with my old pop who loved that area.

[@callumwilson8344]

Love the video. You should do glasgow to Balloch cycle

[@jasonrodwell5316]

One of my favourite training routes is paisley past lochwinnoch to west kilbride,then follow the coast north, stop at largs, carry on following the coast to port glasgow and greenock then back on the cycle track you went down past bridge of weir and back to johnstone and home. Between 60 and 70 miles, sometimes i go atraight to largs, sometimes i will take the bypass that goes straight to greenock from coast bypassing port glasgow. Beautiful ride in summer.

[@Tazfiend]

Nice timing for the sunset. That track by the Gryffe Reservoir canget really bad at certain times, gravel tyres help. The only alternative, from Kilmalcolm, is to go all the way into Greenock, which means a real hillclimb out.

[@HughDWallace]

Cracking ride! I know it well. I took my road bike down that forest track one time: never again! But I'm planning on trying it again on the gravel bike. Really interesting bit of history about the Paisley Canal railway line.

[@donaldashburn360]

Thanks for the video. I felt for you as you approached the gravel section. I've done this a couple of times on 40mm gravel tyres and it's bumpy enough :-)

[@merlings]

They put up a bus shelter "14:55" when filming Shetland , done the gravel bit on 25mm tyres loads of times .

[@JuniorSenior-dp9jq]

Another topper.

thanks!

Any chance of link to Strava or a gpx file. Great inspirational video. Gotta do it. Stay safe.

Good stuff pal, loving the videos. Just getting back into cycling again after an injury and you’ve already got us doing train trips to ride areas 😂 do you have komoot or Strava? I’m not in competition and don’t like the Strava nonsense but it’s good to see gpx routes. Keep up the content.

[@glasgowcycles]

[@B33Pee]

@@glasgowcycles Thanks pal, we did another of your trips yesterday, train to glesga then cycled to the Kelpies and train back to Queens St. Got droont though with the rain.

[@glasgowcycles]

@@B33Pee pity about the weather. I’m hoping to do that route again soon 😁

[@the_Monkee]

Love Largs. Such a nice wee place. Wouldn’t mind doing that journey myself. Fantastic video, very informative. Heart skipped when that car came at you on the single track. Also hope you don’t mind me asking, what app are you using when your phone is in its mount?

[@glasgowcycles]

Thanks hopefully I can do that again when the weather is better. That car did come out of nowhere and I was 100% convinced I could see everything that was ahead of me. Was really enjoying my cycle at that point. That was google maps I was using.

@@glasgowcycles how you don’t have more subs is puzzling. Even on your Patreon. You definitely deserve it. Such an underrated content creator

Thanks for your support. I’ve invested so much time and money into this channel. It can be quite frustrating at times. It’s really rewarding to see so many positive comments as this helps to push me on. 😁

Great video but do yourself and walkers a favour. Get yourself a bell. £3.99 in Decathlon. A great video though.

[@funkytransport]

yup.
