60 Miles
~ 1500 Meters Ascent
Very Hilly
90% Lovely Quiet Roads

(I Start this Clockwise Route in Kinross)

In Kinross Head North up High Street - Take Left onto 'Gallowhill Road' - Continue on this road over Motorway until T-Junction - Right here - Then Immediate Left for 'Stronachie' - About 1/2 km up take Right for 'Stronachie'

Continue on this Road until Crossroads

Straight Ahead - Continue on this road - It starts to weave through farms and pretty soon the Climbing Starts


Nice gradient climb up here into forested area - The road levels and starts to roll - With Nice views opening up

The Road delivers you through the small farms of Path of Condie

After Path of Condie you descend steeply down to a T-Junction - Left here - A very steep hairpin climb awaits



Up this - At Junction at top - Left for 'Dunning' - Continue through forested area for some stunning views

Caution! - Very steep hairpin section descends into Dunning


Head into Dunning and Left at Crossroads onto B934 'Yetts O' Muckhart' - Huge long well graded climb takes you over the Common of Dunning



The road levels off after around 4 or 5Kms and bobs it's way through lush forested area before descending for ages down to Yetts O' Muckhart


This descent leads you to a T-Junction with the A823 - Right here - Head into Glen Devon

Continue gradually climbing along this lovely road


You will finally top out and enjoy a great descent into Auchterarder

Continue on this road until you come to a Roundabout - Right here - then 1/2km along at mini-roundabout take Left for 'Kinkell Bridge' - Enjoy this quiet road passing through 'Tullibardine' - You will come to a Junction - Keep Left for 'Kinkell Bridge' - another few Km's sees you at a T-Junction with the B8062 - Left here - 1/2km later you will see Kinkell Bridge

As you pass over Bridge then Immediate Right for 'Trinity Gask' - Gradually climb up this lovely quiet road - with stunning views off to the right

After around 3kms gentle climbing you enter a forested area - continue for another 2 Kms until you approach a Crossroads - Take Right for 'Auchterarder' - Downhill very steeply to Junction with Very busy A9 - Straight Ahead for 'Dunning' - ***Extreme caution when crossing over A9*** - after cycling under the Railway Bridge then immediate Left onto small backroad

Along this cracking backroad

After around 3 kms you come to a T-Junction - Left here onto B934 - A Km or so later you see 'what looks like a level crossing'

At T-Junction take Right - and immediate Right again for 'Invermay'

Heading back for the Hills!

After 2Kms you come to another T-Junction - Left here -The road starts to climb - and after a wee bit rolling you come to another Junction - Right here for 'Glenfarg'

Climb up through dense forest - the road starts to level off and descend with stunning views unfolding

After small Descent you come to another T-Junction - Right here for 'Glenfarg' - Continue gradually climbing up this road and at next Junction take Left for 'Glenfarg' - And so begins a very tiring & tough stretch of road - The Road sign indicates a 12% gradient - In actual fact it's much steeper and more like 18% - up this sore climb - it levels in the middle before ramping again to the farm at the top



After it levels you are in cycling heaven - the road is to die for - its basically a 'big dipper' from here to Glenfarg with 3 very noticeable climbs back to back - Very demanding! - I'll let the photos do the talking






After you have negotiated this tough stretch you will descend into Glenfarg - the Descent starts off very dangerously with lots of gravel on the road and tight bends through small farms - it then plunges steeply into Glenfarg
In Glenfarg you come to a T-Junction - Right here - and Immediate Right again up 'Church Brae'

Climb fairly steeply at first before it levels off into a long dragging effort

The Road starts to roll up and down gently with smashing views all around

After around 3 or 4kms you approach a Junction - keep Left - a small dragging climb is now experienced

After the small climb a stunning viewpoint awaits, great views of East / West Lomond & the whole of Loch Leven


A smashing long descent now delivers you down into Milnathort

Head directly into Milnathort - at Roundabout Straight Ahead for Kinross - another 2 Km's sees you back in Kinross. Finished!
