Embark on the Loch Achray & Loch Chon loop from Drymen for a challenging road cycling adventure through Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. This difficult route covers 61.7 miles (99.2 km) with a significant elevation gain of 3707 feet (1130 metres), taking approximately 4 hours and 36 minutes to complete. You will experience stunning highland loch-side views at Loch Ard and Loch Chon, pass by Loch Achray, and cycle through beautiful forested areas, with the Duke's Pass offering rewarding vistas despite its challenging climb.
To tackle this hard road ride, you will need a very good level of fitness. While much of the route features well-paved surfaces, be prepared for some unpaved segments that can be difficult to ride, potentially requiring you to push your bike. The Old Drymen Road serves as a quiet starting point, offering a relaxed ride with minimal car traffic as you begin your exploration of the area.
This loop is an excellent way to discover the diverse cycling opportunities within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs area. Its quiet roads, especially the Old Drymen Road, provide a peaceful and immersive experience, allowing you to fully appreciate the national park's natural beauty. The panoramic views from sections like the Duke's Pass make the effort worthwhile, highlighting why this trail is a notable choice for experienced road cyclists.
