This route starts from George Square in Glasgow and heads out through Sighthill and
Robroyston into the countryside, passing through Auchinloch en route to Cumbernauld.
From Cumbernauld it is possible to return to Glasgow along the Glasgow City Council cycle route.
See also the unofficial cycle route to Bishopbriggs which shares
the first part of this route and the link from the West End via Woodside. The route also links with the unofficial cycle route from Twechar, through
Mollinsburn to Coatbridge and Drumpellier Country Park.

Cumbernauld clearly wasn't built for cycling, but by using what paths there are, it is possible to find a route without going on the major roads. However, these paths were built for walking only and are often a bit rubbish for cycling, so take care!
