Every time I’m out on my bike I always have a great time and think I should do it more often…well, after biking and running in the Lake District last weekend I was keen to head out again. I decided to head out on a quick loop taking in Loch Lundie, new for me on a bike but I’ve run it a few times so I knew the route well enough.
The initial ascent is hard work on a bike… boggy sections and some steep loose sections…a real test, but thankfully short lived and it is the only real test on the route. The next 6 miles are on a good landrover track that heads out on to the open hill side, not particularly technical but is nice and fast with only a few sheep for obstacles.
The track eventually comes to an end at the Bridge of Oich, here you jump on the Great Glen Mountain Bike Route for 3 miles back to Invergarry with some nice swooping bits of singletrack. If you are used to routes at trail centres like Nevisrange and Wolftrax you may find it a bit tame but if you fancy a bit of good old fashioned cross country riding I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Once again I have been surprised by what’s on our doorstep, a great ride that I’ll definitely be doing again soon.
To help anyone looking for mountain biking routes around Invergarry, I’ve knocked up this quick google map that I’ll try to keep updated when I find something new.
