Cairngorms National Park (Scotland) - Stage 3 - The Snow Roads
Embark on a scenic journey through the heart of the Cairngorms, a region renowned for its breathtaking landscapes. Starting in the charming village of Braemar, you'll follow a peaceful road along the River Dee, surrounded by lush pine forests. As you ascend on the first climb, the vista opens up to reveal dramatic glens, rolling hills, and remote farmlands. The iconic purple heather-clad mountainsides create a stunning backdrop to your ride. On the second climb the route continues along the Cairngorms Snow Roads Scenic Route, offering unparalleled views of the Scottish Highlands. A challenging third climb awaits you at the Lecht Pass, a notoriously steep ascent with gradients reaching up to 22%. Test your limits as you wind your way upward, passing through desolate, windswept terrain and culminating at the isolated ski center.
In this ride-along video, you ride at the speed of an elite cyclist. If you want to ride at your own speed, please look below for how you can make that possible with our indoor cycling app Open Road.
Take your indoor cycling to the next level with our indoor cycling app Open Road:
Dive into an immersive indoor cycling experience with our training app ’Open Road’ for Windows. The app transforms your effort into speed and lets you ride the ride as if it were a real outdoor ride. With the app, you get a better and more realistic indoor cycling experience compared to our ride-along videos on TH-cam. The app is compatible with all ANT+ cycling devices, including smart trainers, power meters, and speed sensors. Athletes with spinning and exercise bikes without ANT+ compatibility can control the speed manually and enjoy riding with all the important cycling data such as altitude, distance, speed, heart rate, etc. displayed during the training session.

Just add music:
Most cyclists would agree that the ride to Col du Tourmalet is outstanding. But with music, opinions are very mixed. So we have added no music. Instead, we recommend adding your favorite music to the ride. It is quite simple. Mute TH-cam and open a browser window. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, TH-cam, etc.) pick the music you like, and enjoy the ride... We have left the original sound of the ride out. This is because the noise from passing cars, vibrations from the road, wind, and the rider's breathing drowns the natural sound of the surroundings.

That makes for a pleasant ride on my spin bike, but I have to admit it feels odd riding on the wrong side of the road 😊. Just kidding. Much thanks for the video.
