Overall Route for Loch and Glens Bike Trip June 2026

I worked a bit with Gen AI (Gemini) to create a full trip GPX from each of my daily expected routes. The resolution provided is not quite navigable, but I did get an overview that is fairly accurate. Just follow the line in a generally clockwise fashion from Glasgow. 



 Gemini summarized the tour fairly accurately and s
uccinctly with the following description:


Route Landmarks and Geography

  • The Southern Start: The route departs Glasgow and follows the Forth and Clyde Canal corridor toward the Campsie Fells.

  • The Trossachs: You then head west into the National Park, navigating between Loch Venachar, Loch Katrine, and Aberfoyle via the Duke's Pass.

  • Highland Ascent: The track turns north, climbing through the rail-trail corridor of Glen Ogle to reach Killin and the shores of Loch Tay.

  • The Northern Loop: After reaching Pitlochry, the route includes your excursions to Tummel Bridge and Old Blair before heading south.

  • The Descent to Stirling: The return leg follows the National Cycle Route 77 through Perthshire and Dunblane into Stirling, before the final climb over Tak-Ma-Doon Rd back into the Glasgow basin.
