Itinerary / Highlights

Day 1. Check into your accommodation and get your gear organised for the coming few days. If you're feeling restless then head out for a warm up on some of the breathtaking trails at Kirroughtree.

Day 2. The day starts with a grin-inducing blue trail at Glentrool, that you'll want to do again and again. But we must press on through some of southern Scotland's most stunning scenery through Glentrool. Some remote miles bring you to the second half of Kirroughtree's award winning trails & what a way to finish the day!

Day 3. Today starts where you left off yesterday with the first half of those fabulous trails at Kirroughtree ending at the challenging Mcmoab & you won't want to leave! But again we press on through many remote miles to the top of the Ken Valley, onto some hidden trails before a scenic natural trail section that takes us to Sanquhar.

Day 4. A gentle meander to start the day following the river Nith to the Drumlanrig Estate where the peace gets well and truly shattered by the fantastic rooty singletrack that weaves its magic through the forest for 10 km before spitting you out! A challenging route then takes you through the wild Lowther Hills to the awesome Ae Forest trails. Big climbs are rewarded with big descents then a gentle cycle path spin to let you come down from the adrenaline high!

Day 5. From Dumfries you have a single track laden day ahead. First port of call is Mabie Forest with some of the most flowing trails you will find anywhere. Continuing south you will reach the coast for a much needed calm few kilometres before taking on the finale of Dalbeattie's trails. With amazing grippy granite and some fabulous man made features, there could be no better way to end the most biking-packed four days you can get!
