(Alastair advised there is a glitch in the Garmin software so he was unable to plot a section ( the ride appears to end at Linlithgow but does go back to Falkirk High and assures it's no longer than the 50 miles!)

Lunch Stop in Limekilns at the Coorie by the Coast café, or bring your own. Optional toilet stops at Helix Park (the Kelpies) and the Park Bistro on the Union Canal 2 miles east of Linlithgow.

The pace will be moderate averaging 10-12mph.

Estimate back to Glasgow about 17:30 (Trains every 15 mins or so)

Ride subject to change (or worst-case cancellation) if weather forecast poor.
