That's good, now all we all need to know where the access tracks are above Inveraray for these alternative routes Saves being stressed out cycling up the climbs The A 83 can then be avoided by going through the forest to Lochgilphead. This would also saves going over the hill and down the singletrack along loch Awe .The A 83 can be a race track especially when the rest is down to one lane at the landslide section or worse still its a convoy system on the old road .
