SECC to Riverside Museum

Sky Ride Local in Glasgow

Perhaps you’ve not ridden a bike for a while and you’re looking for the easiest way to get back in the saddle? Or you fancy a fun way to get your friends or kids riding? Ride Easy is about building confidence for all abilities and ages in a relaxed, traffic-free, gentle environment.

Join us for an easy-going route that starts from the SECC, a venue for this year's Commonwealth Games. Riding mostly on bike paths we’ll pass alongside the river  before stopping for a breather at the Riverside Museum and then retracing our route. This is a short flat  route and ideal for families or anyone who wants to boost their confidence on a bike.

• Phil Draper Hi, I'm Phil.
  This year, 2014, will be my sixth year as a Skyride Leader, and I look forward to meeting both new and weel-kent faces again this year.
  I've been cycling regularly for the last couple of decades or so, both mtb and road cycling. I've been a member of the Glasgow Mountain Bike Club since 1989 and I 'served my time' as Chairman from 1992 to 1999. I competed for a couple of seasons in mtb cross-country racing at Super-Vet level. I have also taken part in numerous Trailquests, which is a bit like orienteering on a bike, and is great for honing your navigational skills (though it doesn't stop you going wrong if you're not concentrating!).
  My latest challenge was completing Lands End to John o' Groats in a fortnight, just after my 67th birthday, well chuffed I did it and thanks to the pals I did it with!
  I look forward to meeting you and to an enjoyable Skyride season again.
