Mountain Biking at Drumlanrig

Challenge yourself to an exhilarating mountain bike trail through some of Scotland’s finest scenery. The forest, which hosts Scottish and British mountain bike events, is fast becoming one of the UK’s premier venues for cross country racing. Since 2002 Drumlanrig has played host to the National Points Series and Scottish Cross Country Mountain Bike Championships on a specially constructed course designed by Rik Allsop of Rik's Bike Shed.

Choose from a selection of trails to suit every ability and interest from gnarly 'old school' technical singletrack routes, to swooping family trails through the beautiful Drumlanrig woodlands, to quiet country back roads. The course is constantly evolving with new sections of singletrack being added to extend the overall distance and add to user enjoyment.

On offer are four different trail types: Easy (Green Routes), Moderate (Blue Routes), Difficult (Red Routes) and Hard (Black Routes) allowing visitors to decide a suitable level for themselves.

There is no need to fear the mud - showers are available for use and are located in the stableyard next to Rik's Bike Shed at a cost of 20p per minute and £1 for 7 minutes - so come on, get on your bike! Check out the route details and choose which suits you best ...
