Blue Graded: Difficulty 4-6

Blue graded trips are suitable for people with a good level of bike fitness, who regularly enjoy cycling and may have joined a multi-day cycle holiday before.

Distances each day will be between 35 – 45 miles, cycling at around 12/13mph. Each day will be rolling and hilly terrain and there will be notable climbs most days. Some of these will be more testing and some riders may opt to push or ride in the support vehicle. Some climbs are also followed by exciting descents. We will be in the saddle for 5 – 7 hours each day plus the odd longer day. There is also time each day for breaks and lunches, plus some visits to sites of interest

You will be met by your Wilderness Scotland Guide at Inverness Railway Station at 8:30am on Day 1 of your trip.

The trip will conclude at Inverness Railway Station at 7:00pm on the final day of the trip.

In addition, please bring the following:

• Multi-tool, including a chain tool
