[#8284459]

Can anyone recommend an off-road route around Dunkeld? I live nearby, but don't have much time for exploring and I'm always getting lost.

I'm fairly good at the up hill (mostly a roadie these days), but need a gentle re-introduction to cycling down the way again - my "new" 29er is my first MTB since my Bonty in the 90s.

About an hour or two max. A Strava route I can follow on the Garmin would be lovely.

There are a couple of nice bits up around Loch Ordie if you're not into the DH tracks.

The 'enduro' trails aren't exactly 'a gentle reintroduction' 😀

Hello!

I'm about 5 miles from Dunkeld and know the area reasonably well. If you fancy hooking up at some point let me know. I'm also better uphill than down and yes - the Enduro trails are not easy...

The Enduro stuff is exactly what I'm trying to avoid!

Thanks Boris, I'll PM you 🙂

Cool!

Most of my riding is solo, so it'll be nice to have some company 🙂
