This is a ride in winter, so weather is unpredictable. The terrain shouldn't be too taxing, but it can still be rough in places.

We will follow the way-marked gravel trails that lead from Aberfoyle into the Loch Ard forest.  There are three loops which are 10, 20 and 30km long - the aim will be to do the 30km loop, but we can cut it short if the weather is a bit dodgy.  

This website shows the trails we will follow: https://www.gravelfoyle.com/waymarked-routes

The trails are generally pretty good quality, but we will be a little distant from roads, so you will need to have spare inner tubes and some warm and waterproof clothes.

This event will be in partnership with out MTB which is an LGBT mountain biking group.

Also, some of us shall be un-winding post-ride with a visit to a wee rural sauna, which is next to Loch Venachar, about a 35 minute drive from Aberfoyle.  It costs £15 for an hour and you can run in and out of the loch to your hearts delight!  I will be booking a slot at 3PM, feel free to join me and book yourself a place using this link: https://venturevenachar.com/sauna/
