| Start/Finish Cyclehighlands, Ballater town centre, NO 369958 Total distance 29.1km (18.1 miles) Total Time 3-4 hours Maps Sheet 44, Ballater & Glen Clova. Or Garmin GB Discoverer 1:50K Scotland (GPS) Summary Great all-round route that takes you onto the surrounding hills on estate tracks, before descending on singletrack. A short section of trackless hillside in the middle is worth it for the excellent hilltop singletrack it gives access to. Lots of climbing and descending. From the front gate of Cyclehighlands, turn right, left, then right again. This takes you out onto the main street, passing the shops and on over the old bridge. After the bridge turn right and follow the B976 for just over 1km. As the main road swings right over the bridge, turn left up the estate road, beginning the climb up past Balintober. The track continues to climb – keep left at the first fork and right at the second. Keep climbing to the summit. At the summit split left, following sign for Mount Keen. This descends a bit before there’s another signpost for Mount Keen pointing off into indistinct singletrack. Follow as it pops over drainage ditches and climbs back up over a ride to get to a gate with a big iron cross next to it. Go through the gate and start descending. Follow the trail as it descends to a burn, and cross. Keep an eye on the right bank as it is easy to miss this crossing point. Continue down. At the track turn left and follow it down the glen for around 4km, before turning sharp left back on yourself to climb an estate track onto the hillside. Climb for 3km then start to descend to the north. As you descend and the track levels out, look to pick up a pass through a gate. Look for the trail leaving on your left. Follow this through a boggy area before descending past shooting butts on your right. The trail drops down the side of Creag Mullach, splashing through the Pollagach Burn before turning into proper track and taking a sharp right into the trees for the final descent to the farm track. Turn left and descend to the B976. Take a left and ride on the road for just short of 1km. Take the track on your right, forking off and passing through a gate. Stay right at the next junction and follow track to Cambus o’May footbridge. Cross over and follow railway line left back into Ballater. If you have the energy turn left just before the bridge and follow the singletrack down the south bank of the river as per the return leg of the Easy route. | |||||

| Start/Finish Cyclehighlands, Ballater town centre, NO 369958 Total distance 13.1km (8.1 miles) Time 1-2 hours Maps Sheet 44, Ballater & Glen Clova. Or Garmin GB Discoverer 1:50K Scotland (GPS) Summary A fast and easy spin out the Deeside Way railway line followed by a picturesque bridge crossing and more challenging ride on the other river bank – good singletrack and woodland trails undulate their way back in. From Cyclehighlands, turn left, then right at the end of the road. At the end of that road, turn left and take the next right into the old railway station square. At the end of the station buildings on your left look for a signpost showing the Deeside Way. Follow this between the buildings and down onto the railway path. Follow this right out of town. Stay on the line until you pass a cottage on your left. At the riverbank, you’ll see an ornate iron footbridge. This is the Cambus o’May footbridge, negotiate the gates to cross it. At the far end turn hard right onto the singletrack along the riverbank. Follow this along to where it swings away from the bank and turns to double track. At this point turn right onto the purpose built ‘multiuser’ trail. This continues to pass through the forest, before the surfacing stops but the trail continues on more grassy surface. Follow this through some gates and an open grassy field – the trail goes a little indistinct in places, but just head across the field and pass through the tall gate. The route goes back to double track shortly after. The track spits you out onto the B976, so turn right and follow it for around 2km before turning right over the old bridge back into Ballater. Follow the main road through the shops, turning left just after passing the Co-Op on your left. You will see Cyclehighlands ahead of you. | |||||

| Start/Finish Cyclehighlands, Ballater town centre, NO 369958 Total distance 40.4km (25.1 miles) Total Time 3-5 hours Maps OS Landranger Sheet 44, Ballater & Glen Clova and Sheet 37, Strathdon & Alford. Or Garmin GB Discoverer 1:50K Scotland (GPS) Summary A terrific route with a bit of everything in, from high hill tracks to nadgery forest singletrack winding through the Caledonian pines and local lochs. Turn right out of the front gate of Cyclehighlands, then right again. Take the second left, at the entrance to the golf course. Follow this road to where it swings left slightly, and take the footpath going straight ahead on the right side of the road. Follow the railway line for around 1km past the picnic area, keeping an eye out on your right for a narrow singletrack climbing the banking sharply back on yourself. Climb this to the road and turn left for 200m, then take the singletrack road on your right. Follow up Glen Gairn to Lary Farm, where the road turns to track and swings right up into the hills. Go through the gate and begin climbing. Around 1km short of Morven Lodge take the track on your right, through the river then climb the hill. Stay on track for 6km until junction of several tracks. Turn right here, up the hill for a short time before beginning to descend to the east. Drop down through a gate and onto the road. Turn right, then join the B9119. Turn right for 500m and look for a grassy trail forking off on your left. Take this trail into the wood. After 700m take the trail cutting sharply back on yourself. Follow signs on woodland trail to Burn O’Vat visitor centre. At the visitor centre you can continue the route, cutting out Loch Kinord, or ride the singletrack round the loch. To cut out, jump to point 8. To ride the loch cross back over the road from the centre onto the trail, and turn right. This takes you down through the trees and begins the circuit of the loch. The trail is sometimes on grassy singletrack, others on old estate tracks. Keep to the lochside where any options arise until the trail takes you to the small loch at Clarack. Here there is a little observation platform. The trail is a faint singletrack leading directly away from it, through the woods. It gets a little indistinct but eventually leads on to another track. Turn left up to New Kinord Farm. Go through the gate and turn left. Look out on your left for a grass trail dropping down to the loch. Follow this down and through the silver birches before rejoining track to Old Kinord. Turn left – this is the junction you’ve been to before. Retrace steps to visitor centre. At the visitor centre look for the obvious path heading up the hill to the right of the buildings. Follow this until it meets another track. Turn left here for around 700m, before forking right onto another trail. Follow this to meet the track climbing up to the quarry. Turn right here and climb for 100m before taking the singletrack to your left, up a short climb and over a small burn. The trail then gets more defined and drops downhill past a small loch and into the back of Tullich Farm. Go through the gate and onto road, turning right for 500m then forking right onto B972. Ride for 1km, taking first small road on your left. Follow it where it swings right, then ends at a singletrack signposted for Ballater. Follow along the side of the football fields then take the ramp to the right. Cross the road, through the path and onto the railway line. Turn right and you’re back into town. | |||||
