Scotland multi-day tours
Scotland: a land of high mountains, vast forests, deep glens, roaring fires and whisky, and home to some of the most incredible mountain biking the UK has to offer. We love it here, in fact we spend most of our free time when we’re in the UK heading here to explore the endless trails, constantly finding new gems that we love to then share on our trips. For those that crave fresh air, wild and beautiful landscapes, and true mountain bike adventures, there is no better spot than Scotland!
We are excited to bring more of you to experience this wonderful country and the fantastic riding found within it.
The Cairngorm classic eNDURO
The Eastern side of the Scottish Highlands is without doubt our favourite part of Scotland to ride in. The crowning jewel of this areas has to be the Cairngorm National Park, the highest upland area in the British Isles claiming four of the five tallest peaks in the UK.
We ride one of the longest descents in the UK from one of these giants, a grin-inducing trail through wild mountain scenery. But it’s not all about the big mountain riding here, the variety of terrain is unrivalled, and we try to sample a little of all of it.
There are technical trails flowing through the glens where the effort to dodge granite boulders and hop over drainage channels reaps the reward of finding flow. There’s the gem that is Royal Deeside, where the beautiful forests hide dozens of incredible trails the locals have been keeping secret for years, along with legendary classics such as Heartbreak Ridge. And there’s the many great riding locations passed on the way north, one of which we stop at on our first day to whet the appetite even more for what’s to come!
Our six day adventure takes in a sample of some of the best singletrack this magnificent area has to offer. From huge descents from giant highland peaks, to perfectly crafted singletrack in magnificent ancient Caledonian forests, rocky flow over giant granite slabs, and technical riding through rugged and stunning landscapes, this trip has something for everyone! We’ve designed our trip to take in as much great riding as we can fit in to 6 epic days, so we stay in 2 different hotels, switching half way through the week and giving us the opportunity to minimise travel time and maximise riding time each day. This means you’ll explore both the East and West sides of the Cairngorms National Park.
There’s a strong chance you’ll see golden eagles, deer, red squirrels, and even the Cairngorm mountain reindeer!
As always, we’ve picked small, friendly, cosy hotels where you can be sure of a comfy night’s sleep, a place to share a drink and relive the highlights of the day with your fellow riders, and sample some great Scottish food.
No trip to Scotland would be complete without the opportunity to visit a local distillery to learn about the making of (and of course tasting of!) Scotland’s famous Single Malt whisky, so we’ve made time for this as a mid-week post-ride treat for those who fancy it!
