this route has been on my mind for some time now :)
originally i planned pitlochry to rannoch station and back, circular around both lochs: loch tummel and loch rannoch, but this route comes to 120km /80m and i dont think i would be ready for a hilly ride of this length anytime soon. as per 'web' elevation gained on the full route is over 9000ft (because of the mighty schiehallion)
anyway, i believe this was my most hilly cycling day to date.
.
juz jakis czas ta trasa chodzila mi po glowie :)
oryginalnie planowalam jechac z pitlochry az do stacji kolejowej rannoch (i spowrotem) ale taka trasa ma okolo 120km, a nie sadze ze jestem gotowa na takie gorzaste 120km..nie, na pewno nie jestem gotowa. 'internet' mowi ze jesli dodamy podjazdy z calej trasy -pitlochry do rannoch station i spowrotem po drugiej stronie jezior, to wychodzi 9000ft (3000m), no owszem jest gora dol gora dol i gora dol... no i jeszcze droga idzie zboczem gory schiehallion..
w kazdym razie pierwsze koty za ploty, narazie byla to nasza najbardziej 'gorzysta' trasa

queens view / loch tummel / schiehallion
nice tee :)
fajna koszulka, dzies jestem piratem rowerowym
continuing towards tummer bridge
jedziemy dalej, do tummer bridge
mighty schiehallion, see from every angle that day. the munro was dominating the scenery
wielki schiehallion, tego dnia widziany od prawie kazdej strony, totalnie zdominowal krajobraz
pass tummel bridge, last 5 miles before kinloch rannoch
minelysmy tummel bridge, ostatnie 8km do kinloch rannoch
loch rannoch!
last couple of miles were a struggle. head wind+hills. when we arrived to kinloch rannoch we still cycled a bit further, to the loch. in that windy weather it reminded a sea rather than a loch..
ostatnie kilka kilometrow byly dosc ciezkie - pod wiatr i jeszcze gorki.
kiedy dojechalysmy do kinloch rannoch nie zatrzymalysmy sie we wiosce tylko podjechalysmy nieco dalej, do jeziora. przy tej pogodzie to raczej wgladalo jak morze

kinloch rannoch
on our way back to tummel bridge
in tummel bridge we crossed the bridge and cycled on a smaller, quieter road, along the north shore. nice, but hilly! (signposted FOSS)
w tummel bridge skrecilysmy i przejechalysmy przez most a potem mala drozka wzdloz polnocnego brzegu jeziora tummel (drogowskaz na Foss)
loch tummel
almost back in pitlochry!
juz prawie w pitlochry!
