Ben Rinnes

A nice route with a fair amount of up and down. Bridge of Brown at 74.2km is the most significant climb (max 20%). The detour via Nethy Bridge at the end might just take you to a metric century and is down hill to Nethy and generally has a tail wind to Grantown. Alternatively just go straight on at the 80.7km waypoint.
