I am not a cyclist although relatively active and want to take a cyclist friend on this route while they are visiting from Spain - I'm just not sure how challenging it is and whether I am being a bit ambitious to do this (and back). Any feedback on the route would be welcome. |

The path from the A85 crossing to Killin is all downhill and obviously the converse for the return. Not knowing your circumstance but I think that I could say that a return journey would be made of 6 equal parts in length and 5/6 would be okay,but be prepared to walk some of the return from Killin to the A85.
