Between Strathyre and Killin and to the north of Callander lies a bike trail that despite being short, ranks among the best rides I’ve done. A walk along here a few years ago actually prompted me to take up cycling again after a ten year absence due to busy roads though it was only recently that I finally got to ride it. As well as being a section of the Rob Roy Way, this trail is part of a much longer National Cycle Network route linking Glasgow and Inverness with this ride being from Strathyre up over the viaducts to the Glen Ogle car park on the forested ridge just south of Killin. As with my West Highland Way outing I had to do this in both directions but I’m not complaining there.
The rain was just about holding off as I left Strathyre; just after the bridge a bike track led northwards beside the river…
Wonderful Post.

Thanks – I enjoyed that ride – next time I’ll carry on to Killin as it’s a nice place to head to!
