Spine Road of Whitelee Wind Farm

Highlight • Cycleway

Undulating gravel road along the Spine Road of Whitelee Wind Farm, the largest onshore wind farm in the UK. These tracks are mostly for access to the wind turbines and create a fab network of gravel trails which are a great way to access Glasgow from the south or for a local ride from the city.

Wind Turbine Hill Climb

Highlight • Structure

Suggested gear: start with the second easiest gear and save the easiest for just before the final kick just before the finish. If you aren’t confident with gear changing on hills then just move to the easiest gear as soon as the hill picks up near the start.
