A Winter ride that will take us on an 18 mile round trip using a dedicated cycle route through some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland. The journey will start at the Log cabins opposite Balqhuidder Station (see map) and take us north towards Loch Earn and Lochearnhead where we will take the Zig Zag path up to meet the Caledonian Railway Company dismantled line at Craggan. The route will take us gently uphill to Glen Ogle and the Viaduct. We will continue the journey downhill to Lochan Lairig Cheile across the A84, through the Acharn Forest towards the Falls of Dochart then across the bridge into Killin. Then return using variations of the same route.

We plan to stay in 4, 5 and 6 birth Log Cabins at Balquhidder Braes Scottish Holiday Park depending upon number of attendees cost would be around £18 per night. Cabins are modern, fully central heated with a well equipped kitchen, also has a welcoming gas powered living flame hearth fire, Satellite TV, DVD Player and Wi-Fi Internet Access.
