I favour anti-clockwise route, as riding down Glen Lochy into the evening sun is one of life’s little pleasures. The alternative is finishing on south Loch Tay road, which is rather undulating and something I prefer with fresh legs :-) Extra bonus is a douk in Loch Tay to cool-off and clean up. Descent into head of Glen Lochy is on loose rubble. Fine in 40-45mm gravel tyres. Recommend care and caution on 35mm tyres. Not suitable for your best road bike!

Short clockwise loop from north of island round to Castlebay and back. Punchy climb coming up and over to Castlebay with fast descent. Wind direction makes all the difference!

I like to put in a long ride on around the solstice. Opted this year to join in with RttS again. Chaps (Fraser & Gary) who organise it do a fantastic job, with great support from a number organisations - Chapeaux to them both. (ridetothesun.co.uk if you want to
