Dodside Road Descent

This road is a popular choice for cyclists, offering stunning views over Glasgow and surrounded by beautiful scenery.

It also passes White Loch, a great swimming spot with easy access if you fancy a quick dip!

Did early morning so wasn't busy.

You'll generally see more cyclists than cars on this road. It makes a nice wee on road segment in a 50km loop Glasgow Southside to Stewarton, following the cycle lane up through Giffnock and Newton Mearns, turning off the cycle path at Malletsheugh Road - which has been resurfaced since I last rode it and was much more enjoyable! Dodside road is undulating with some wee kickers and nice descents. Road surface is pretty decent, but watch out for small patches of pothole hell. Can often see hunting birds soaring and swooping here 🦅
