Pitlochry Training Ride Suggestions?

Travelling up to Pitlochry for the Etape Caledonia on Thursday morning, so could do with some suggestions from any locals for two or three 2/3hr rides.

Thanks.

A couple of suggestions:

1) Aberfeldy, Lawers, Glen Lyon - the Ben Lawers climb and Glen Lyon are a must do.
2) Pitlochry, Bridge of Cally, Dunkeld, Logierait - watch out for the farm track and river crossing at Logierait otherwise you'll add on a good few miles!
3) Aberfeldy, Amulree, Kenmore - two stonking climbs, again not to be missed!

I reckon that plus the Etape route will show the best that Highland Perthshire has to offer. The weather forecast looks good too! Enjoy.

Kinloch-Rannoch-Schiehallion-from-PitlochryThis is a nice wee route. I don't know the route of the etape, so it might be a part of it.

There's some great cycling, and great scenery (in both senses), over there in Perthshire and Angus.
