Pedal for Pizza

From the campus we will take the road to Loch Leven’s Larder, then ascend past Wester Balgeddie to the Dryside Road. From there, the road roles towards Strathmiglo with a lovely long descent to the village where we both get our pizzas from the pizza via van. Once our tummy’s are full, we will begin our cycle back up the hill and travel our route in reverse. No doubt we will be a lot slower on the way back!

A there and back route to Strathmiglo from Kinross on mostly quiet tarmac roads with a rolling terrain. Lovely views of the Lomond Hills and Loch Leven. A long descent on the way down to Strathmiglo means there will be a long ascent on the way home, but the gradient is mainly shallow and nothing to steep. There is the option to start at Loch Leven’s Larder which will reduce the distance by about 6 miles and reduce the ascent by 120 feet. Please send me a message to let me know if you would like to begin from the Larder. Please note that once you have ordered your pizza, you will be required to pay for it if you cancel with less than a days notice as I will be placing the order 36 hours in advance.

All roads are tarmac and generally quiet. The road to Strathmiglo has a few roughish sections with potholes and we will take care to cross these sections. I will be cycling my road bike.

We will have very brief stops for riders to have drinks and snacks along the way if needed, but the intention is to try to keep rolling as much as possible so that we can make it to the pizza van on time.

Helmets are strongly recommended. Please bring drinks and snacks as needed and money for the pizza van or a card to pay. Cycling glasses are beneficial at this time of year when there are larger numbers of insects. Please bring layers as the temperatures can cool quickly in the evening, and have something to put on whilst we sit and eat our pizzas as you can feel chilled when you stop cycling. Orders for pizza will be taken in advance and submitted 36 hours before our trip. If you cancel at short notice, you will be asked to pay for your pizza. Please ensure your bike is in good working order bring any tools specific for your bike, an inner tube to fit your tyres and a means of inflating your tyres.

We never leave anyone behind
