We are celebrating International Women's Day with a spin around Whitelee, come and join us! A bright and breezy route around the popular Lochgoin trail at the Whitelee Windfarm. Enjoy breath-taking views and an impressive landscape with the added bonus of no traffic! Whitelee is a friendly location with good facilities.

Forestry trails - surfaces are suitable for Hybrid, Mountain and Gravel Bikes. Not suitable for road bikes with skinny tyres. This is a traffic-free route, on wide tracks through the windfarm. We will be keeping to the main Lochgoin route, so the trail surfaces are good for cycling. There is one small section on tarmac, the rest is on trails.

Plenty of opportunity to stop, catch our breath and take pictures. A lovely cafe stop at the end of the ride. Optional: Those who want to get more miles in will have the option of a second loop after our cake stop, reversing the route - just let the ride leader know at the cafe stop and if you want another round, the folks who are finished will head off home and we'll roll out again and double it up!

Money for cafe stop, and spare tube/puncture repair kit and pump. Helmets to be worn at all times when on the bike, please bring a jacket which is waterproof along with sun protection, you never know when the sunshine or showers will make an appearance and unsurprisingly, this can be a breezy route! I have kit (helmets, jackets etc.) available to lend to riders if needed - if you need anything, message me and we can arrange this.

First-timers welcome!
