    I’m working in the office next to Aberdeen airport next week and was just wondering if it’s worth taking a bike with me. Any decent trails within cycling distance?

    Kirkhill is right on your door step. Nice & easy for an evening’s ride. Used to go all the time when I lived in . Aberdeen. I’ve been told its improved a lot since I moved north.

    elsewhere in Aberdeen there’s some stuff at Countesswells & Hazelhead. Then there’s Pitfichie out past Inverurie or Fetteresso down at Stonehaven & brand new trails at Tarland.

    Depends what you are wanting/expecting. Where are you staying?

    I ride mostly Kirkhill/elrick/Brimmond hill email me if you want info

    No marked trails as such just lots of trails criss crossing Kirkhill/elrick/Brimmond hill they’re not hard to find.

    Countesswells/Hazelhead I wouldn’t bother with

    Fetteresso/Swanley they’re gonna be sloppy, bit of a soul destroyer if you’re not expecting that.

    Pitfichie is not to bad, a few trails off the main trails that are worth doing.

    Scolty / Hill of Gouach is great and 30 minutes from Dyce

    Bear in mind that its pitch black by 8.30 these evenings…

    Kirkhill is obviously closest, then Scolty probably. I prefer Scolty personally but then I can ride from the house…

    Would expect trails to be pretty dry at present after all the nice weather we been getting of late!

    A loop around Bennachie maybe?

    If you want something within cycling distance of Dyce then Kirkhill becomes the most obvious choice by far – it’s almost literally next door.
