After a 2020 Covid break the highlands best family friendly cycling event is back for 2021.

This year the route will head out towards Aviemore past the Highland Wildlife Park and Kincraig before riding through Rothiemurchus and then back via Loch Insh, Ruthven Barracks and back to Kingussie for family fun at the finish line.

All proceeds go towards the parent council charity for Kingussie High School. Clubs and other organisations are very welcome to use the event to raise funds for causes close to their own hearts. Fundraising packs are available.
