Prepare for a difficult road cycling challenge on the Alyth & Loch of Lintrathen loop from Dundee, covering 47.3 miles (76.1 km) with a significant 3070 feet (936 metres) of elevation gain over approximately 3 hours and 41 minutes. This route takes you through picturesque Scottish scenery, past beautiful Beech trees, and offers glimpses of the ancient Airlie Estate. You will cycle alongside the pretty Loch of Lintrathen and can look out for the dramatic Reekie Linn waterfall along the way.
This route is best suited for road bikes due to its mostly well-paved surfaces. You can begin your journey in Alyth's historic Market Square, where parking options are likely available. For a mid-ride break, refreshment stops like the Wee Bear Cafe and Peel Farm are conveniently located around the Loch of Lintrathen, offering a chance to refuel before continuing your ride.
Beyond the cycling, this loop offers a journey through history and nature. Keep an eye out for prehistoric standing stones that dot the landscape, hinting at ancient times. The Loch of Lintrathen itself is not just scenic; it serves as an important reservoir and a vital wildlife reserve, adding a layer of ecological interest to your challenging ride.
