(Hope this works)
It says it's 4 hours (without stops)and 173 miles
There are several places to stop for fuel but suggest everyone fills up in Perth before arriving at the hotel on Friday as fuel will be cheaper there .
Lunch stop will be tomintoul or aviemore depending how we are getting on .
There is a wide veritiy of roads from sweeping A roads to single track with passing places to duel carriageways all with amazing views

P.s. still 1 twin room left I will cancel at end of August if not takers

[Stolichnaya]

Looks like I'll be having a sore ass.

Probably on the GTR14 to alleviate the above somewhat!!!

I'll not be riding 4 hours non-stop

I didn't think the Google map think would work but happy it has .
There are no short cuts it's also why I thought about an anti-clockwise route as better doing the more challenging roads first.

Cool.  A93 and East side of Loch Ness checked 

[Speedy1959]

Looking forwards to this.
sounds brilliant Seth.

[Hooli]

Looks good to me & I prefer the A93 in that direction as the twisties gradually get wider and faster as you head up the valley.

[Red Biker]

Looks good Seth, thanks for all the research 

[seth]

Just a reminder incase anyone not seen or new folk fancy coming to this meet up weekend .
I still have 1 twin bed room (2 single beds) available .
Cost is £69 per person b&b for Friday and Saturday nights .
Ride around the cairngorms on the Saturday for those interested .
This room will be cancelled if it's not booked at the start of September.
Cheers
Seth
