January 2021 - Cycling Routes

Cycling is a low impact exercise that offers a wealth of benefits. It also varies in intensity, making it suitable for all levels. It can help shape a healthy lifestyle, both physically and mentally.

HARVEY Maps Production Manager, Chris, takes us through some of his memorable routes.

1. Loch Katrine: a classic ride on virtually traffic free road along the loch shore. Plus the opportunity to make the return leg on a steamship!

2. Round the Forth: shorter version of the full round the Forth loop, which crosses the Forth via Clackmannanshire bridge

3. Rosedale Chimney Bank: a brute! I’ve never actually made it up the hill without getting off and pushing. Yorkshire is well known for its multitude of excellent cycle routes. This is a lesser known climb.

Difficulty: 4/5
