Guest Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Hi Everyone,Can anyone give me details on the above route. My searches show a few possibilities ranging from 28 miles to 120 miles, I dont mind which it is but just dont want to mess it up as I am taking a bunch of mates for a Borders run and have been asked to include this bit.Any help/maps would be appreciated.Talister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 HiThe Dukes Pass is from Aberfoyle to The Trossachs. It is only about 5 miles long, but brilliant to ride.http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Aberfoyle,+Stirling&daddr=Trossachs,+Callander&hl=en&geocode=Fd0xWQMdIjS9_ynvPLeQcPeISDENF_VVofMqVA%3BFWH6WQMdjsm8_ymnSciGDPqISDHrG0_V3TFTFA&mra=ls&sll=56.186839,-4.354019&sspn=0.183412,0.663986&ie=UTF8&ll=56.208041,-4.286041&spn=0.091655,0.462799&z=12As for the rest of the milage, it depends on which direction you are coming from.

Throttled Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Borders Run?! Unless there is another Dukes Pass you have quite a treck to get to Aberfoyle which is central Scotland.....it is 55 miles from Edinburgh to Aberfoyle.http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Edinburgh&daddr=Aberfoyle,+Stirling&hl=en&geocode=FWC7VQMdsFzP_ykjJpilALiHSDEnF-d8exTyZA%3BFd0xWQMdIjS9_ynvPLeQcPeISDENF_VVofMqVA&mra=ls&sll=56.249454,-3.581543&sspn=1.464953,5.31189&ie=UTF8&ll=56.081232,-3.805389&spn=0.367834,1.327972&z=10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I was trying to show Talister where the Dukes Pass is in relation to the Borders, I had noticed Dukes Pass in the original post, but not Borders. I suspect you would come to the route off the Edinburgh by-pass It would be a good run for you Revs and you can loop round back through Dunblane. It was part of my recent three day treck on my 125. I continued on from The Dukes Pass and went up to Aberfeldy and back down to Dollar through Glen Eagles and Glen Devon, also superb biking roads.

Guest Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hi Guys, Barb & I did the trial run and had a great day, the Dukes Pass was good but have to be hinest and say not worth the run from North Lincs on its own.Did find a grea road though on the way back from Selkirk to Etterick Bridge and down to Langholm.Even passed a Tibetan Monastary!!!!!!!!!!!Great road though.
