EP 22. GLORIOUS CAIRNGORMS GRAVEL - Scotland at its best!

This 53km gravel ride had it all - every type of trail, testing climbs, big views, one amazing descent and a lovely lunch stop in Rothiemurchas at 40km. The warm sunshine made it one to remember. Enjoy!

[@janicegalloway5636]

What a great day for it! Have ridden some of those trails...so much fun 🥰

[@CharlieVanPoppel]

It was loads of fun! Felt like a kid again 😀 Can’t wait to go back and explore more of the area. Maybe not in winter though 🤔

Lovely route in a glorious area!

[@TwistyTrails]

Nice one. Epic weather for an epic route!

[@CharlieVanPoppel]

Thanks Alan! I wish Scotland was like this more often. A wonderful day, and a welcome relief after riding up the Burma road in 34 degrees on the Sunday which was brutal. This route was definitely a lot friendlier 😆

[@TwistyTrails]

@@CharlieVanPoppel You definitely had a perfect weather window for it which makes my version of the route look very drab!😀. Yep, the Burma Road is a real grind, but totally worth it for the trail on the other side.

Wow that looked amazing, I miss summer already!! I'll need to give that route a try sometime 👍

[@CharlieVanPoppel]

Me too, although I do enjoy riding bikes in the Autumn too. Nice light 🙌🏻

Route added for next summer. Looks great

[@CharlieVanPoppel]

Definitely one for summer :-) We can’t wait to go back and ride more gravel up there! Enjoy 🚴‍♂️
