PLEASE NOTE: Due to a road closure for bridge repairs, you will now travel west after leaving Dunning, bypass Auchterarder to the south of the A9 and then join the Glen Eagles road towards the Yetts of Muckhart.

This is our “Classic Route” with a couple of testing climbs and long rolling sections in-between.

It has been designed to provide an interesting route around Kinross-shire along lots of quiet country roads with picturesque scenery and passes through several small villages. There are plenty of opportunities for friends and family of those taking part to park the car, have some refreshments, and watch the riders passing by.
This route is also designed to attract experienced club cyclists who are less keen on hilly sportives, and would welcome the chance to test their early season fitness on a new course with lots of other club cyclists.
The route heads east from Kinross and then heads north and through the village of Glenfarg before turning right at Arngask. It then follows minor roads through the Ochils before reaching the historic town of Falkland. On leaving Falkland a long rolling section lays ahead until you reach the first feed station at Newburgh. Then its on through Bridge of Earn, Forgandenny and Forteviot before reaching feed station 2 in the town of Dunning with its 12th. Century church of St. Serf and the monument to Maggie Wall who was burnt here as witch in 1657. Legend also has it that St. Serf slayed a dragon here who was bothering the locals.

After leaving Dunning you will travel west and keeping south of Auchterarder. You will then join the Glen Eagles road and climb over the top and then down to the Yetts of Muckhart before returning to Kinross through the Crook of Devon.
