In fairness not many call it "The Wibbly Wobbly" :lol:

I've lived here 35 years and never heard it called the 'washboard'. Can't see the similarity between a flat board for washing and a road I'm afraid.
It's always been affectionately known as the 'Arrochar Bumps' around here.

A washboard isn't flat, it's wavy... Like corrugated iron.

Now THAT is a fun road . 8)

Never heard of it being referred to in those terms either............. usually its just the "Arrochar road", followed by lots of schoolboy giggling.

North to south, then over "the rollercoaster/military/glen fruin road" to the lochside. Adrenalin O.D.

What else does the article say? Got to be a top mark? :lol: :wink:

Sorry to interupt the mother to son lecture..... :wink:

Why dont we organise a rideout which takes in both the Wibbly Wobbly and the Dukes Pass and afterwards we can put it to the vote.....only those in attendance can vote

Here's my suggestion:-http://upload3.postimage.org/128379/Untitled2.jpg (http://upload3.postimage.org/128379/photo_hosting.html)

Start at Balloch

Fuel stop/tea stop at Arrochar (after the wibbly wobbly)

Onto Tyndrum via Inveraray

Fuel stop/tea stop at Tyndrum

Onto Callander via Lochearnhead

Fuel stop/tea stop at Callander (before tackling the dukes)

End at Drymen. Everyone heads home from here.

Good choice of roads :!: Name the date I'll be there.

The starting point suits the westies more than the east coasters though.

Count me in. Who else??

If there is enough interest from the easties we can adjust the start and end points

whats with all these other roads on the route??? can't we just go up and down the dukes pass then along to the wibbly wobbly??? via Gartocharn??? :lol:

Count me in, having said that the dukes pass is an early morning or late evening road, less busses!!!
