ROAD RIDES C Y C L I N G RIDE KEY: Gentle spin, modest elevation change Just to the north of Gleneagles Hotel are a wonderful patchwork of sheltered woodland roads over rolling farmland which offers miles and miles of tranquil B-road cycling. To the south are the steep glens of Gleneagles and Dunning with their climbs up to moorland solitude. For a taste of Highland Perthshire head west to the lochs & mountains of The Trossachs. Whatever your preference for terrain and whatever your level of fitness, Gleneagles has all the equipment to get you on the road. Choose from sixteen road routes (from twelve to seventy miles). These routes are pre-loaded onto Garmin onbike sat-nav devices with supporting paper maps. Please ask at The Club for details. As Ernest Hemingway once quipped..
