Gravel Cycling The Freedom Trail - Bannockburn to Carron Valley Reservoir Loop

Join me on this epic gravel cycling adventure from the Battle of Bannockburn Memorial to the Carron Valley Reservoir and back again. As we embark on this journey, we'll be reminded of the bravery and courage displayed during the Battle of Bannockburn, where Scottish independence was won over 700 years ago.
This ride is not just about the history, but also about freedom and adventure. The challenging gravel roads will test our skills and provide an opportunity to enjoy the stunning Scottish scenery. From rolling hills to crystal-clear lochs, the views are breathtaking and truly capture the essence of Scotland.
The Carron Valley Reservoir is the cherry on top of this unforgettable ride, offering a peaceful retreat to take in the beauty of the surrounding mountains. This ride is a true testament to the freedom that can be found on two wheels and the natural wonder that Scotland has to offer.
Join me on this unforgettable gravel cycling journey as we pay homage to the Battle of Bannockburn and celebrate the freedom and adventure that can be found on two wheels.

Excellent watch Rusty. Really enjoyed it. 👍🏻

[@RustyRidesGravel]

Thanks, I struggled to edit this one. Was a difficult ride to film.

[@bigstoozeradventures]

Great drone shots too. 👍🏻

What’s a route without some hike-a-bike makes up for all that tar😂😂😂 I’m not sure about calling them beginners routes as that conjures up boring and that was actually a lovely wee ride for any ability. Strangely enough I’d been toying with an e-mtb but bought a new IMac as the existing one and MacBook were struggling to edit photos .

[@RustyRidesGravel]

That's interesting, I hadn't considered a beginner tag to infer it being boring. I guess for the more adventurous it could be, but I find when I'm out cycling it's rarely boring. I am happy to be out just cycling. Good to know I'm not the only one figuring out how to buy the next bike too 😀

@@RustyRidesGravel n+6 is perhaps pushing it a bit again but I did get rid of one last year. Also fancying a fat bike but not sure how I’d go with that.

My local roads. I was up there the day before you...3rd gravel ride on the new bike...still looking for fitness tho....love the drone shot around there, nice to see another perspective. Excellent video dude.

[@RustyRidesGravel]

Thank you. It's great around there for cycling. How are you finding the new bike?

[@raybrig_5551]

@RustyRidesGravel The bike is awesome...but my fitness is low, but will come back in time. Keep up the good work

[@Shewie01]

Lovely as always (I think you might've passed me near Glenmore Lodge yesterday Rusty?)

[@RustyRidesGravel]
