July 7, 2023,Oban - Connel Bridge Loop

Starting from Oban, it is uphill, but quickly flattens out and remains undulating throughout. Some nice descents!
Stop half way at Connel Bridge using the village shop for food/lunch.

Route back is very quiet with no traffic at all. Lovely peaceful route with nice scenery.
