edinburgh - aberdeen

Easy - Moderate

This elevation profile from Edinburgh to Aberdeen is just one choice of route. The cycle route actually gives you a few alternatives, so you can choose whichever way you prefer. There are only two or three 100 metre sections which may require you to get off the bike, but fit cyclists can make take them all. Edinburgh to the Forth Road Bridge is flat and then, via Loch Leven, a cycle through Blairadam Forest - there's a fairly steep approach to the Forest but the effort is worth it. The final sections are in and out of the coast, undulating, but generally easy, quiet country and coastal roads.
