Looking for some advice for a biking weekend, was looking for a mountain day and then something a little less for the Sunday. I was thinking Ben Lawers/Beinn Ghlass and then a ride at Dunkeld.

Does anyone have any advice/suggestions, maybe even a gpx?

Would the above make a good weekend biking?

Cheers.

At Dunkeld there is the loch ordie / Loch Oiseanneach circuit which is nice and not too strenuous.

Both are very good days out, as tjagain says there is a nice mellow route round Loch Ordie if Bienn Ghlas  has wiped you out. Or there are many trails that are pretty easy to get to. I don't have a gpx to hand but everything is on trailforks. Most are pretty full on but amazing.

I have only done Ben Lawers once and i did it as s loop. We didnt get to the top as it was blowing a hoolie. Only advice i would give is go early, or late to avoid walkers. Its a very very busy hill.

You'll need skis and skins for Lawers/Ghlas at the moment. Dunkeld has multiple possibilities. Look at Strava or Trailforks.
