Pitlochry – Farragon Loop

pitlochry Farragon

This is a great 40km 4-5hr route about 90mins away from Glasgow. Navigation is easy, it is all weather, great scenery and Escape Route Bikes. Going clockwise, it begins with a fire road climb  out of Pitlochry, followed by a great single track descent all the way down into Strathtay. There is then a few kms of quiet C road  going up the Tay, look out for the red squirrels I saw 3 and also the turn off to the right to Aodin/Edradynate Estate. There is then a long rideable land rover track climb to the ridge. The pay back is good for a slightly more techy land rover track descent down to Loch  Tummel and then a chill out along the riverside back to Pitlochry.

Here are a couple of ride suggestions that I have done before. We can decide on the day…. both approx 3-4 hours; nothing technical; great scenery and riverside return trails, trees should be fantastic colour too.

Fancy dress optional!

Last chance to ride before British Summertime ends.

Meet at Escape Route Bikes ready to ride @ 10am

Chris, sorry cant offer lift.
