A bikeride to the heart of Scotland

[toroddf]

(well, it turned out that Amulree is the geographical heart of Scotland so the theard title is true)​

​

Just a bikeride I did last week which I think deserve to be listed as a good idea for others to pick up too. The road from Crieff over to Loch Tay was/is brilliant.​

​

The tour report is here​

(as I could not be arsed to add the 44 pictures and the text to CC. Too big job)​

Fantastic photos. I particularly like the ones of Sma Glen.

Bad luck about the rear wheel.

Great post! really enjoyed the pictures, thanks for that.
A question: you drink the water from rivers? No ill effects?
Ciao!

I have had no ill effects from the water. But I always look out for sheep and other potential sources of polution before I drink the water. I used most of the water to cool me/my skin down though.

Yes, I am happy with that ride and I would humbly suggest you put it on your to-do list.

I reserve a special place of hatred in my heart for the road from Killin to Kenmore along the southern side of Loch Tay.

Nice ride, report and great pictures.

For even remotely considering that I have the capability of doing a ride like that, you deserve a "like"!
If I could, I would "like" it several times Ta for that!

Weather looked stunning for that ride! Looked like one of those perfect days for a cycling tour.

Have they banned motor cars in Scotland?

Only the cars coming from England: if you want to cross into Scotland from England you have to leave your car at the border, ride a bike for the rest of the journey.

I did not meet many cars during those 125 miles, it has to be said. Which is strange because the Crieff to Loch Tay and Killin bit has some of the best scenery in Scotland.
