   Has anyone got advice on the most enjoyable road cycle route from Dundee to Edinburgh? Not a fan of fast roads or big lorries. #BikeTooter #Scotland

     @CloudyMrs all I can offer is a lovely wee road I found over the hills (sorry) between Abernethy and Strathmiglo.

     @iamdavidobrien I've already done everything from John o Groats to the border, except for this last wee bit. I've heard the Coast Road is horrible with traffic, and I've already done the bit from Dundee to Loch Leven. I'm looking for reccomend routes from cyclists who have done them. I know about maps.

     @iamdavidobrien from experience, I'm not convinced by Sustrans 'routes'. They go directly from hardly passable tracks along the side of fields to A roads full of traffic, all called NCN1.

     @iamdavidobrien don't apologise. Your effort is appreciated. I wasn't specific enough about the advice I am looking for.

     I apologise.

     I have ataxia so I am unable to cycle. I fall over.

     But I know tech. So thought I’d try to help.

     I shan’t in future.

     @CloudyMrs Have you tried the Komoot app? It’s pretty good at suggesting routes and it often gives you a breakdown of surfaces (road/gravel etc)
