Through the Balloch
This is a lovely ride on quiet country roads. The sharp turn off the main Crieff to Muthill road is up a steep slope so change gears/ apply power early. Then it becomes much easier. A few sharp turns and onwards towards the Comrie road and then a return on the Comrie to Crieff back road. A short diversion into Comrie is worth it for the local cafés.
