About This Route

Exploring the Clyde day 5. We took the Dukes pas MTB track from Lochgoilhead - pretty wild and steep for touring bikes but we had fun! The A83 section from Ardgarten into Arrochar is very busy with traffic and we took the shared footpath. The A814 from Arrochar along Loch Long is narrow and windy but has very little traffic, a very pleasant ride. Heading down the hill into Garelochhead was a mistake in hindsight. We hoped to find a cafe there and didn't. The road from Garlochhead past Faslane has a cycle path marked on the map but its a crappy shared path with poor surface. THis section was pretty ugly with views of high wire fences, security cameras and warnings against flying drones. The A814 between Helensburgh and Cardross is not nice to ride with lots of traffic. Its a great pity the cycle path just ends!
