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!

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.

4. Aberfeldy-Dunkeld loop: a full day starts with a long but very satisfying climb out of Aberfeldy.
