Traveling by Bus

Regular services connect Inverness with Glasgow, Edinburgh and London along with most other main UK bus stations. The Bus Station is located in the centre of Inverness and is approximately 1 miles from your guest house (about £6 taxi fare). 

Given the off-road nature of the tour, having continuous vehicle support throughout the day is not feasible. However, participants can find reassurance in the presence of our backup vehicle strategically stationed at various points along the route. 

It serves as a convenient resource for accessing extra gear throughout the day. This arrangement eliminates the need for participants to carry any equipment beyond what is typically taken on a regular day ride, promoting a more comfortable and streamlined off-road experience. 

Our leaders carry a good tool kit and will help to fix any bike problems so all you normally need to carry is a daypack, for your camera etc. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be equipped for all repairs, so if you are bringing your own bike on the tour you must ensure that it is in good working order. If in doubt, have it fully serviced by a bike shop before you travel.

This excursion includes breakfast, snacks, and most lunches. Our selected accommodations offer a cooked breakfast, cereals, and lighter options, ideal for sustaining a day of cycling. Lunches are enjoyed on the route, featuring buffet-style picnics crafted by our guides. While evening meals are not included in the price, we secure a group table for dinner, facilitating a post-ride gathering. For vegetarians and individuals with specific dietary needs, accommodations can be made—please specify any requirements at the time of booking.

We select high-quality 3 or 4-star hotels and B&Bs, that are cyclist-friendly, strategically situated near the cycling route, and exemplify the distinctive style and hospitality of the visited area. Whenever feasible, our preference is for locally owned businesses and establishments that feature locally sourced food and beverages.

All our Scottish trips operate on a double/twin-share basis. Single occupancy rooms are available for an additional supplement, contingent upon availability at the time of booking.

Bring your own Bike.

We strongly recommend that you have your bike fully serviced before going on the tour. Ensure that wheel spokes are adjusted, greasing all bearings, check gear and brake cables, tighten all nuts and bolts, check chain, quick release clamp and tyres. Put in a new inner tubes and check wheel rims aren't worn.

We recommend that you take the following items with you.

• Multi tool
• Tyre levers
• Pump
• Spare inner tubes
• Spare spokes
• Check with your bike shop for disc/ brake pads
• A few links for your chain
• Spares for any unique things for your bikes i.e fluid or bleed kit.

If you are travelling by train with your bike, most rail operators offer complimentary carriage. However, it's important to note that available spaces very limited to Inverness, and should be reserved well in advance.
