Inverness to Loch Ness and back

Inverness to Loch Ness and back

The rolling hills outside of Inverness make for a pleasant ride to Loch Ness. There are also several marked dedicated bicycle paths. The ride entirely around the loch would result in a ride of about 75 miles. However, for a shorter ride you can ride from Inverness to the closest tip of the loch and back again (which would be about 30 miles).

The day we rode in early April, however, started out with flurries and ended up with snow falling so hard we couldn't see the roadway. Fortunately we had folding bikes (Bromptons) and were able to stop at a pub and hail a taxi for the ride back to Inverness.

I rate the ride Intermediate primarily because the route out of Inverness seemed to be quite busy, and does not have much of a shoulder. (If the road hadn't been covered in snow I might have felt differently about this.)
