This difficult 55.4-mile (89.2 km) racebike loop from Dunblane immerses you in the majestic landscapes of Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park. You will cycle alongside the tranquil waters of Loch Venachar and Loch Achray, enjoying views across the glens. The route features significant elevation gain, totaling 3224 feet (983 metres), and typically takes about 4 hours and 5 minutes to complete. A highlight is the challenging ascent of Duke's Pass, known for its steep gradients and sweeping bends, offering a quintessential Scottish road cycling experience.
As the most popular road cycling route originating from Dunblane, you can expect clear access from this town. This demanding route requires a very good level of fitness, so prepare accordingly for the challenging climbs. While primarily on mostly well-paved surfaces, the Duke's Pass section is often found to have a better surface when ridden north to south, allowing for a faster descent. Plan your ride to make the most of this feature and ensure a rewarding experience.
What makes this loop particularly notable is its combination of demanding climbs, rewarding descents, and breathtaking natural beauty. The Duke's Pass itself is a classic climb within the cycling community, drawing riders to its challenging slopes. The route offers an immersive experience in a region rich with history, including connections to figures like Rob Roy MacGregor and the era of Victorian tourism. It showcases the stunning landscapes of the Trossachs, an area celebrated for its beauty that has inspired poets and painters.
