Where will we go and what will we be doing?
We will explore local trails around Inverness. Along the way you'll learn basic bike maintenance skills, navigation skills, how to set up an overnight camp, and how to look after yourself outdoors. Most importantly however, we want everyone involved to have fun, make new friends who love bikes and and help grow confidence in getting out riding under your own steam.
What should I bring?
Please wear comfortable sports clothes. You can also bring your own snacks and plenty of water. We have waterproofs, gloves and warm clothes available in the Gear Library to borrow free of charge, just let the leaders know.
What if I don't know anyone?
You'll be joining a really friendly group. Lots of participants start out not knowing anyone, and leave with new friends.
