The Circuit which takes no prisoners runs along Auchenhowie Road offering sub 6 min miles before the hard work begins on Dowan Road.
The climbing just never stops with some 12% climbs before going right onto the famous Tower Road, everywan knows this road well, even the local bams.
The road then goes left for the real stuff with the High Caves Summit up ahead at over 500 feet in altitude.
You are always rewarded with a great sunset on the summit.

They hills are nothing compared to the Glenbrittle circuit !
nevertheless there are tough wee hills on my circuit, some wonderful views of glasgow city at the top.
In fact the circuit used to be part of the old Bearsden Half Marathon route back in 1987.
