I have a day or so with work in Inverness, and wanted to maybe rent a good bike and ride some trails. ONly have enough time for a close trail…

So, i guess Aviemore for an uplift would be nice…

anyone have any suggestions/experience?

Hire a bike from Bothy Bikes (they’ll also give you trail advice)

But you’ll need to use your pedals 😉

I can use my pedals… sometimes. But seriously, thats fine, happy to pedal. Bothy bikes, i’ll check em out.

They do a sort of mtb tour thing from the funicular at cairngorm now, not really what you could call an uplift. Looks like a pleasant day out though.

Fort William’s closed for the year but Glencoe’s still open. Not exactly close though.

Aviemore’s not the only option, there are purpose built trails at Carbisdale, Golspie (the highland wildcat is brilliant), Learnie, Fochabers…

Ok, cheers for the tips.

@nbt.. that sounds about right actually.

Mind you, judging by the steel hardtails from Bothy Bikes, i might just need to pay the extra baggage and get my bike up there. I’m too old for a rigid steel hardtail.
