Welcome to our Biking Routes Pages.
Most of the bike rides featured in this section are in the Cairngorms area of Scotland,
with a few of them within an hours drive of Aviemore.
Some are road, some off-road and some a mixture of both. Many are circular
routes, many "there and back" routes.
Don't expect drawings and maps and expressions like "After 1 mile, turn left through the pig
sty" etc. There are references to OS Maps and other literature where applicable, as much detail as required without spoiling the
pleasure of discovering it for yourself and a bit of advice where applicable.
Any distances given are guidelines only because
there may be route variations, different starting points, other options etc etc.
Difficulty Ratings: Well, we're not listing
them as easy, intermediate, difficult etc because any ride can vary in difficulty due to weather, prevailing winds, how dry or muddy
it is, seasons (shorter rides and less light in winter), rider's off-road experience and so on. However, there are
no extreme, life threatening tough rides at all. All these rides, unless otherwise stated, should be easily ridden by someone
of average fitness and many are great for families too. They are half day or full day rides with plenty of time to take in the
scenery as well as getting fit. Indeed, we plan all our rides around spending time in the fresh air, in lovely scenery as much
as challenging ourselves to the tough stuff. You may do them quicker than us, but we will have seen & experienced more of
the surroundings ;-)
We hope you enjoy them as much as we've enjoyed them.

Note
June 2008: We apologise to visitors to this site who have returned to visit biking pages in other areas of Scotland.
For a variety
of reasons, we have had to trim down the size of the website and have taken the decision to keep only the rides for this area.
