For a short but fairly gnarly jaunt:

Carry / ride up into Coire Laggan. Right up to the lochan. Bask in the admiring gasps of the walkers then turn around and ride the half K or so of gabbro slabs followed by the 3K of awesome single track back to the campsite.

The slabs look improbable but there is a 100% rideable line through them.

There's a great route along the quirang. Park down by the main road, then ride a little single track road up the hill. Along the quirang and out the other side back onto the main road.

Was featured in the peaty/Danny mac/ hans rey vid of rising there.
