I'm visiting Fife this weekend and I'm looking for a 70-90k loop to do on the road bike on Saturday morning. Obviously I'll look on mapmyride etc, but a personal recommendation on here would be great.

you haven't said where you're starting from or staying but if it were me I'd do a ride in East fife. Anywhere from Upper largo eastwards would be nice, along the coast, the villages of Crail & Anstruther etc are all very nice & up to St Andrews. Of course coastal routes will be a bit windy so inland, round Autchermuchty (where the proclaimers lived and went to school!) through the lomonds and round loch leven would be a great alternative.
haste ye back!

As above, anything around the east coast is really nice, Anstruther, Crail, St Andrews. Some nice roads around Falkland up and over the Lomond hills too. Depends where you're starting and finishing to make solid recommendations though. It's mostly great though as long as you try and avoid the A91 and A92.

Edit: Have a look on here and see if any of these roads take your fancy. Shows the stuff the Uni road club tends to do with photos etc [url= http://standrewscycling.blogspot.co.uk/ ]http://standrewscycling.blogspot.co.uk/[/url]

Lomonds loop for the win. Pop on Facebook and search for Mukyriders, lovely bunch of chaps they'll be able to meet for a ride, or send you a gpx route.
