Any ideas for a nice single day ride from Fort Bill? Staying in Corpach and looking for a 6 hourish XC ride.

I reckon that might be a bit tough no?

Plenty of folks do it in under 6 hours but obviously I don't know how fit you are. There are a few bigish climbs but the second halfish is fire road rolling.The techy sections are short.

That might suit then. It looked a bit intimidating from the description on the no fuss website.

Aye they hype it up a bit to stop punters entering but at the end of the day it's no different to any other sizeable day out in the highlands.

If doing it in the near future it might be prudent to check the Abhainn Rath is fordable at Luibeilt given the rain there has been this week.
