This was one of the best days I’ve had on the bike in a wee while. I Started at Golspie, hitting the main trail top to bottom followed by another go at Balblair. All done on the Ebike, which is probably why I enjoyed it all so much as Golspie is quite a big climb and Balblair Is a very physical place on the regular bike.

I truly believe that the north east of Scotland has some of the best riding available and I fully intend of exploring a bit most of it.
