A long distance route, with some steep climbs which make this a challenging route. You could be in the saddle for approximately 5-6 hours means it’s for experienced, fit cyclists used to this type of ride. You are rewarded with some spectacular scenery, a boat trip, you will pass through native rainforest, along some heritage routes and visit local villages creating a classic tour.
The route starts with a boat journey on the Inversnaid Explorer from Tarbert (with the nearby Arrochar and Tarbert rail station) to Inversnaid, then follows the road to Aberfoyle which has shops and several cafes (a short detour to Stronachlachar provides another café option). From Aberfoyle follow NCN7 back to Balloch (which has a train station) and then the West Loch Lomond Cycle Path back to Tarbert. Pre-booking your rail and ferry journeys are recommended.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
