Sporting Breaks
The tours on this page have generally been designed as short breaks for road cyclists who want to combine few days training with some of Scotland's best scenery. Good quality road bikes are not readily available for hire and the tours offered below do not feature cycle hire (although we are happy to help you to courier your own bike if travelling with it isn't practical). The cycling routes featured below combine some of the toughest hills in Scotland and daily cycling distances that are generally more suited to a road bike. However, if you are interested in giving yourself a tougher cycling challange than you find on our touring pages, we can arrange hire of hybrid or mountain bikes.
Sporting Tours - Our sporting tours take in some of the most dramatic scenery in Scotland and have been created to offer a combination of testing climbs and quiet roads that offer the chance for sociable cycling. In most cases the actual distance between stopping off points is relatively modest (perhaps 20-30 miles) - this allows us to offer luggage transfer on a day to day basis. Our routes provide detours to ensure that you can cycle the daily distance that suits your group's requirements. The tours are all led by the pre-loaded GPS we supply and your group can cycle at the pace they choose.
Single Base Sporting Breaks - The alternative to moving on each day, is to base your party in a single location and benefit from our knowledge of cycling in that area. Our single base breaks come complete with a GPS pre-loaded with 12 routes of between 30 and 120 miles. We also supply altitude profiles and helpful notes for all routes. There is no set timetable, your group can select your preferred routes and et your own pace.
