- **Event Name**: Curiosity Ride - Glenkiln and the Speddoch
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 29 Mar, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sun, 29 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: We normally do this route as our Halloween special, but it's such a gret route it deserves an outing in the daylight too. It will be a gently paced outing of about 25 miles largely on quiet back roads – but it does have a significant amount of climbing and a long descent. As with all our Curiosity Rides the emphasis is on enjoying the ride and meeting people, rather than speed and endurance – we go ‘at the speed of chat’ and we welcome all types of cycles including e-bikes and trikes. 

Here’s the planned route https://cycle.travel/map/journey/900931 (although the ride leader may vary the exact route depending on the conditions on the day and the wishes of the participants).

The route takes the Maxwelltown path out of town and up the Glen Road, cutting up to the Terregles Road and then on towards Shawhead before climbing up past the reservoir and up and over the hill. We then descend all the way down to rejoin the Irongray Road and back into Dumfries.

Rides continue regardless of the weather, unless the ride leader decides it would be dangerous (or no fun) – we normally don’t ride if there are weather warnings or snow and ice on the roads.

There’s no need to book but if you use Facebook you can sign up for the event via our Facebook page.
