Heartride 2011!

"New route added! There are now 3 off road options. The black route at the 7stanes Kirroughtree off road section is now available to all those who want to take up the off road challenge. The black route is not to be underestimated, a 31km fast and technically difficult ride, featuring the McMoab slab if you dare!"
With a BHF campsite and a mass outdoor ceilidh to round off the event it is a great weekend away for the whole family. The campsite has staff on site all night along with plenty of toilets and some showering facilities. Parking will be available nearby and the Ceilidh is adjacent, unbeatable value accommodation and entertainment for the night.
