  • TerrainApprox. 125 km with 1349 m of climbing, one short section very steep (double arrow on the map).

Same date but changed start time.

A challenging 77-mile cycle through some of Perthshire’s finest glens and passes. Our circular route will take us from the fair city of Perth, in the heart of Scotland, up Glen Almond (affectionately known as the Sma’ Glen), over into Glen Quaich. A big and steep climb to 537 m and an even bigger descent will take us to the attractive village of Kenmore at the north-east end of Loch Tay. From there the terrain is much gentler as we follow the River Tay downstream through Grandtully and Dunkeld to complete our circuit.

A map of the proposed route can be found here.
