That was a great watch and so well filmed! Brought back memories of doing the Badger Divide earlier this summer and one of my favourite sections! Subscribed! 🙂
Calling that route "dull" is a bit harsh, Alan! 🤣I love and out and back because seeing the same terrain from the other direction is like a whole new road. I rode the same route in horrendous weather in 2012, albeit we didn't make it to the station but sheltered at the foot of Loch Ossian. The tailwind on the way back made for a faster climb back up from the loch than the toil of a descent had been. I'm not sure if I've ever ridden such smooth gravel.
Ha ha, by "dull" I meant the there and back nature of the route, but I agree you do see the whole trail from a different viewpoint when travelling in the opposite direction. That's definitely a bonus on this particular route! Yep, it's racing-fast gravel.
I rode Corrour to Laggan in July, started in Killin. After dinner & beers at Corrour I had the pleasure of a brisk tailwind all the way to Laggan, camped on the beach with zero midges. Got to be up there with the best gravel section in the entire UK.
@@br5380 Definitely sublime gravel, that’s for sure! I wasn’t so fortunate with the midges - whenever I stopped to set up the camera/drone I was plagued with the blighters. 👍
Did this as part of a ride from Fort Bill to Corrour earlier this year (April), where we overnighted before heading out to Rannoch and onto Pitlochry. From Lagan we were into quite a brutal headwind all the way down to Loch Ossian, even having to pedal downhill into Strath Ossian! The bonus was the food at the station cafe. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing the route! I was wondering how this ride was down to Loch Ossian as I have several Munro tops to ascend from the East end of the loch.
Did this route back in February this year, a great day out…..we weren’t troubled by flies….or midges, although it got a bit chilly at times. Great to see the views again.
Looks like a great route

Thank you OMC - glad you appreciated! Only a small portion of the Badger, but definitely a memorable one. Thanks for the sub too 👍
Beautiful! 😍
@@PiquePictures thank you. 👍
Wow those drone shots. Classic Scottish remoteness but with the comfort of the gravel trail under the wheels - perfect!
Thanks BJ - yep, it was pure bliss! 👍

Lovely route and I hope that you enjoyed it, thank you for the ideas and inspiration for future rides for myself👍
Glad you enjoyed and that it’s inspired you to get out there and explore. 👍
Brilliant Al, definitely want to do that now-thx for showing it all
Cheers Gillian - maybe one for the Flyers...with a nice lunch at the midway point.

Thank you for sharing a beautiful ride
Appreciate the feedback, thanks.
Good to see the return of twisty trails !!
Ha ha, thanks …… not sure I was ever away! Just a busy period with work. Back to a steady state now though.
@@TwistyTrails work the scourge of the cycling class !!
@@davidcowan5650 😂 ……but it does support the n+1 strategy!
Probably my favourite place to go on the bike. Just back from there a few weeks ago 👍
@@phantomracer1050 It’s definitely up there among the best trails, with the added bonus of a brilliant cafe/restaurant for refuelling. 👍
Beautiful trip. Nice to see you back 👍
Thanks. Yep I've had a very busy period with my day job....and holidays, so not had so much time recently for 'Tubing'.
Great video! I love that ride ❤️
Thanks - it’s a belter!

Thank you - that does sound like a tough ride into the wind. 💨💨
What a brilliant ride
Thanks VP
Great video of a lovely area Alan, and what weather you had 🚲🙂👍
@@tonypaddler Thank you. Yes, great weather for it……but then again I’m becoming a fair weather rider!
@@TwistyTrails
A fair weather rider in Scotland 🤔🤷♂️
How does that work then 🤣
Thanks for sharing the route! I was wondering how this ride was down to Loch Ossian as I have several Munro tops to ascend from the East end of the loch.
It’s a buttery-smooth ride on the main trails leading to Loch Ossian. Glad the vid is of some use to your planning.
Did this route back in February this year, a great day out…..we weren’t troubled by flies….or midges, although it got a bit chilly at times. Great to see the views again.
Looks happier than mine lol
@@54andBored it had me grinning from lug to lug! 😁
There’s a reason tarmac was invented. No grovel for me
Cool. I guess the tarmac allows you to get to cyclocross courses without too much trouble....
