Although Kilmarnock is a big town you'll be surprised how soon you're cycling in the country.
In less than a mile urban traffic will be left behind as relaxing rural landscapes beckon. On two of the routes you'll be able to claim that you've cycled in Moscow. (Moscow, Ayrshire, that is.)
Once again, the longest ride is the most challenging as far as the terrain goes. There are one or two hills that will have you working.
