CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
not resolvedApologies for double thread posts.
All the previous Great Glen threads seem to be from dates prior to the completion of this new route.
So my question is, has anyone cycled the new route at all? On a touring, hybrid or road bike? (Thinking of taking a tourer, so no MTB hill trail madness for me).
Any advice appreciated.
Cycled from Cille Chuimein to Laggan on my (uprated) hybrid with Madame last year and you'd be fine on a road bike there. The Loch Lochy stretch is forest road - fine for a hybrid, bit sketchy for road tyres.
The Loch Ness section is lovely tarmac, I'd recommend a detour up the Inverfarigaig corkscrew, Torness and Loch Duntelchaig with descent back to Loch Ness by Tighe-na-Coille. Crumbling tarmac at the top of the corkscrew but still road bikeable.
didn't know it existed - now planning a trip next spring.
Train to FW, ferry back to Ardrossan.
wonderful stuff
