Taking on Scotland's famous West
Taking on Scotland's famous West Highland Way long distance route by mountain bike. With some of Scotland's best scenery and connecting Glasgow to Fort William, it's obvious why this trail is so popular.
We rode the route north to south, starting from Fort William in the Scottish Highlands itself. The plan was to do it all in one day but the weather was nice and it was best to get started the night before and camp along the way outside of the town, especially with the bikes. It's a tough route to mountain bike with some long technical climbs and 3-4 hours of lifting the bike up over boulders and roots along Loch Lomond.

I chose a short travel mtb with 100mm suspension front and back - my Vitus Rapide FS. It was an ideal bike for it, kitted up with Michelin Wild XC tyres to cope with the sharp rocks and loose gravel corners. There's a lot of varied terrain as often with cycling in Scotland!
