A85 can be treacherous in a car!

It's a draft route. This looks quite nice:
wikipoodia does say it's a "major road in Scotland" but how busy is a major road in Scotland?

Though this is some tosser sooking about "overtaking opportunities". This ride is also 800 people rather than single riders so less risky due to numbers.

the transalba is not inspiring at all - large chunks of poor routing and roads that I wouldn't attempt to ride on, ever - namely the a85 and a82. Pass.
