Day 11 Loch Lomond – Glen Coe (Into the Glens)

"...the route from Loch Lomond to Glen Coe is the most scenic days ride of the entire tour. You will cycle along the traffic free cycle path along the banks of Loch Lomond from the south to the north. The road continue away from the north of the loch until Crianlarich. You will pass by Crianlarich before stopping for lunch at Tyndrum. After lunch the scenery is truly majestic although if the weather is bad this will be a challenging day"

Well the description didn't lie! Having driven the road many times I had a good idea of what to expect, but even I was surprised. Riding immersed us into the scenery, the scents of the land, and the weather. After Crianlarich we hit rain and some sleet, and in the Pass of Glencoe headwinds that meant every inch of motion had to be won from the unseen enemy! The drop into Glencoe Village saw the back of the wind and a tranquil and enormously beautiful ride alongside the river  with its gentle Beech woods to Loch Shin and rest for the night.
