Kelty à vélo

A nice loop with good uphills and downhills exploring the boundaries of Kinross and Perthshire.   Start at edge of Kelty- shops and cafes nearby. Head West. Turn off to ascend and descend Cleish Hill- great view over Kinross and Loch Leven to Lomond Hills in East. Take flat roads to Kinross, Milnathort then East to Glenfarg turning (Beinn Inn). Follow narrow cleft through hills past Glenfarg then dropping down through trees (scenic & easy riding) past Beinn Inn to flat vale surrounding Bridge of Earn (shops here). Proceed along back roads past Strathallan, Forteviot and Dunning. All picturesque- foo options in Dunning. Back roads continue towards Gleneagles- avoiding Auchterarder. Climb over Glen Eagles- feels trickier than ascent on map indicates. Proceed rapidly through hills to Glendevon and yetts of Muckhart. Turn left at junction and follow flat-ish roads to Drum then Cleish and back over Cleish Hill in opposite direction (pretty tough). Alternative return to Kelty, without hills, is possible via Blairadam.  

Second leg of GVAP Charity Cycle 33 miles from Kelty to New Winton.   Long, easy cycle with gentle gradients!

rolling hills, fast but quiet roads
