Is This Scotland’s Most Underrated MTB Loop? | Ochil Hills XC | Stage 1

Описание: 🚵 Saddle Hill Loop MTB – Ochil Hills Scotland | A 5 Part Adventure
Welcome to Stage 1 of my 5-part Ochil Hills mountain biking adventure!
In this episode, I take on the legendary Saddle Hill Loop from Glen Devon, climbing from the Glendevon Reservoirs up towards Skythorn Hill in the heart of the Ochils.
This is proper Scottish cross country riding — big climbs, remote hills, sweeping singletrack and unreal views across Perth & Kinross and Clackmannanshire.
💪 16 miles
⛰ 2,727 ft of climbing
🔥 Classic Ochil leg-burner with awesome XC singletrack.
If you’re looking for Ochil Hills MTB routes, Glen Devon riding, or big XC days out in Scotland — this one’s for you.
