Cycle around the Luss Hills

5 places left
As a follow on event for the Loch Lomond kayak trip, we're also offering a shorter afternoon cycle loop of around 30 miles, taking in both Glen Douglas and Glen Fruin. Both glens offer challenging, but satisfying climbs to just under 200m affording some stunning views over Loch Lomond and Loch Long. Most of the ride will be on quiet roads or well-surfaced cycle paths.
We plan to follow the route in an anti-clockwise direction - a map can be found here from where you can download the route.
