There are three different distance options with all routes fully signed and finishing in the same location:

The 22 mile is the gentlest route.

Starting in Kippen and passing Carron Valley, this is ideal for anyone looking to enjoy a bike ride in stunning surroundings.

The 50 mile is the intermediate route.

The route explores Flanders Moss, passing the Lake of Menteith into Fintry before ascending to the Carron Valley Reservoir.

The 100 mile is the most demanding route.

Challenge yourself by taking on the Dukes Pass, the infamous Crow Road and climbing out of Lennoxtown.

I’ve taken part in Pedal for Parkinson’s for the last five years. I cycle because my husband has Parkinson’s. I want to help find a cure and improve the lives of everyone affected by the condition. Deirdre Duncan, Pedal for Parkinson's Ambassador

Not only does this event bring together people with a connection to Parkinson’s, it also brings together a community that loves cycling. Dave Usherwood
