'Stone The Crow' is one of the biggest climbing challenges on our HSBC routes. not appears often but the weathers looking good for the challenge, so time to get you climbing legs on ! Starting Bishopbriggs Leisure Centre, through Torrance, over to Lennoxtown before the daunting challenge of climbing the mighty Crow Road rated one of the top 100 UK Climbs decending down through Fintry. where we will stop for snacks and to get our breath back. Then onwards to Killearn before looping back over to Strathblane and then the back roads to Torrance and finally back to Bishopbriggs.

This route involves some serious climbing, the Crow Road being 5km long. the roads will mostly be quiet roads although will involve some main roads along some stretches.

There will be a few stop points along the way, and coffee stop planned for Fintry

Riders must wear helmets, bring spares, and probably best bring a cussing jar for when they climb the Crow !
