The route follows the south side of the loch to reach Tummel Bridge, from where it is a further 7 mile cycle to Kinloch Rannoch on the banks of Loch Rannoch. It's along the loch to reach Rannoch Moor, a beautifully isolated spot in the very heart of Scotland.

Day 2: Kinloch Rannoch - Kenmore (29 miles)
Loch Rannoch is one of the best spots for Leisure cycling anywhere in Scotland. Unfortunately a trip along the loch is not on our itinerary, but if you feel inclined you will find a warm-up cycle along the lochside is heartily recommended. The route heads east again, taking the minor road up through Tay Forest Park, before passing the Glengoulandie Deer Park. It's then down the hill to the village of Kenmore on the edge of Loch Tay. If you arrive with some time to spare, a visit to the Scottish Crannog Centre is recommended.
