Yes, its a very pretty road. It's also nice and lumpy without a lot of flat along bits that i can remember. It's the main route down that bit of the coast as I don't think there are many "motorised" options otherwise, but if you prefer a quieter longer route i think something is do-able using the valley roads heading inland, but it will double the mileage!

Enjoy.

Tagging this thread. I'll be cycling it in the Spring so I'm interested in any feedback.

I drove up it again recently and it was as Captain_Sponges description. Quite hilly in places and quite busy in parts. Not very wide either so I expect some close overtaking.

The NCN route goes away inland to avoid it.

Am I thinking what you're thinking Tony?

And if so, when? ๐Ÿ˜‰

just seen the road from Taynuit to Annat, then down Loch Awe.
that looks a better option.

Quieter, but there's no "civilization" en route ๐Ÿ˜‰
