Hi, I haven't ridden around Glencoe / KLL for a while so fancy heading up there this Saturday. Plan is to start in the car park at Altnafeadh (Link to map) and head up the Devil's Staircase. Depending on conditions and who's riding on the day there are several options, including the Ciaran path or other descents.

Weather is looking good, so I'm planning a 35 ish miles route (56 km) starting from the club house promptly at 6.30pm this Thursday 17th July. Sorry, but this is only open to individuals with a road/cross bike, keeping pace on a mtb will be very difficult. Aiming at a group riding speed of 15-17mph…
