Cycling

Super smooth downhill glide on excellent asphalt from the Pass of Drumochter to Dalwhinnie. Watch out for the many bridges and occasional sharpish zig-zag when zooming along.

Gravel riding

The pass itself isn't particularly strenuous, but it's very open and can get very windy. The cycle path is also a patchwork of different roads.
