At the end of April / start of May 2007 we spent a week driving around Scotland searching for mountain bike routes we hadn't done before.

We visited 10 different areas in 9 days, cycling a total of 128 miles, climbing a total of 7333 meters (according to the garmin Edge), and drove a total of just over 2000 miles. We camped at three different campsites, and when not cycling took a long drive through the mountains to John O'Groates, and visited the odd castle...

The weather, unbelievably, was brilliant! Literally blue, cloudless skys from Saturday through to Saturday, with just a little rain on the last Sunday (it did get cold at night though, with ground frost on one or two nights).

The mountain bike photos, movies and routes are in the Mountain Biking section of the website (from Drumlanrig to Innerleithen)
