Dollar, Tilly, Fishcross, Alva loop

We'll head along the railway line to Tilly then continue up a wee hill to Fishcross all on tarmac cycle paths, through a farmyard and past Sauchie Tower to the Alva road. We are then on the road past the Woodsman down to Alva and back along the cycle path to Tilly, a few back roads to get back on the old railway line and home. Its fairly flat and easy cycling and ideal if you are wanting to build your confidence. Some lovely views of the Ochils and approx 11 miles in all.

A gentle 10.5 mile loop from Dollar to Fishcross and Alva.

We will be mostly on off road tarmac, with a stretch of main road from Fishcross down to Alva past the Woodman Restaurant. It is generally pretty flat with just a couple of uphill sections up to Fishcross

We can stop wherever we fancy for photos, a drink etc but no planned cafe stop en route. If folk fancy we can nip in for a coffee at Cafe 44 afterwards

Wear a helmet and please have lights on your bike and bright clothing is always wise. You should also have a spare inner tube that fits your wheels and the relevant tools, but I can also try to help with basic roadside repairs, if necessary. Bring a water bottle and snack too

We never leave anyone behind
