I'm staying there from May 25-28 and have never been before - usually Fort William. Could some of you kind locals suggest 2 decent routes for rides on the Sat and Sun please? We usually clock up 250-300 miles on a ride no problems.

The guy who was organising it has now decided not to organise any rides so short of taking pot luck on the map....


Thanks.

dukes pass would have to be on the cards at some point, although watch out for the loose gravel!

Only if they resurface it before you come up. Ask some of the locals when you get there if it's ok. I gave a heads up 2 weeks ago. It didn't winter well at all and the surface is attrocious compared to last year. There was a major gravel spill recently affecting 4 miles from the hotel towards calander.

If you're staying there, pop into the big hardware store and buy a brush, then go and fix the pass, then spend the rest of the time riding it :)
