At the B9153 - A95 junction it's safe to stop and have a look at the awesome views up towards the northern Cairngorms.
The A roads here are fast (for bikes and vehicles) and sometimes have big lorries so you need to watch out. Cycling is popular here though, so bikes shouldn’t be a surprise for drivers and the roads are fun to ride fast. There are lots of smaller roads you can escape onto if it feels a bit busy.

Super speedy roads especially with a tail winds. People warned me that the trucks get a bit close at points but I never really had any issues at all and they gave me lots of room as they went past
