January 2021 - Cycling Routes

1. Loch Katrine: a classic ride on virtually traffic free road along the loch shore. Plus the opportunity to make the return leg on a steamship!

Difficulty: 2/5

2. Round the Forth: shorter version of the full round the Forth loop, which crosses the Forth via Clackmannanshire bridge

Difficulty: 2/5 (depending on pit-stops!)

3. Rosedale Chimney Bank: a brute! I’ve never actually made it up the hill without getting off and pushing. Yorkshire is well known for its multitude of excellent cycle routes. This is a lesser known climb.

Difficulty: 5/5

4. Aberfeldy-Dunkeld loop: a full day starts with a long but very satisfying climb out of Aberfeldy.

Map: Highland Perthshire

Difficulty: 4/5

5. Grizedale Forest: loads of off-road trails through the forest, from wide gravel trails to technical single track.
