Hi, just wondering if any of you have cycled the North East 250 route in Scotland. A circular route starting in Aberdeen, following the coast North then west, head south through the Grampians, then east through Deeside back to Aberdeen. Is the route suitable for a road bike and are the roads very bu...

Yeah, I know of the Sports Complex but don’t want to stay there. The link to your B &B is no longer valid. Many thanks.

Thanks Al, I tried to get hotel accommodation in Teguise but fully booked.

Plan to visit Lanzarote next month, February 2020, left it a bit late but can get accommodation in Costa Teguise.
Is it a suitable location for road cycling, don't mind hills ?

Hi, I am leading a group of ladies from Dunning to Kinross and plan to follow back roads. Near Pathstruie where the road splits should I follow the Path of Condie through Stronachie or follow Tulloch Road to Middleton. I know the gradients for both routes are high, we will be on road bikes. Which wa...

I cycled the NC500 in August 2016 with a group of friends staying in B&B. We had a great time although the weather was horrendous. We found all the roads, including A roads very doable. The A9 coming south from JOG was fairly busy but had a small hard shoulder for most of the way. At no time did...

Hi, I am leading a party of cyclists from Kinross to St Andrews and plan to take the following route. Would anyone with knowledge of the area advise if this is suitable re traffic and surface, we will be on road bikes. Or maybe suggest an alternative route. Leave Kinross, head north round Loch Leven...

Hi All, have now completed my Ireland E2E cycle trip and loved every minute. Favourite parts were Mizen Penisula, Gap of Dunloe, Cliffs of Moher and the Burren, Malin Welcome. Founds Priest's Leap a bit hard going, sorry for calling you a sadist Norman , you were a great help. Weather was mixed but ...

Thank you Norman H. I have checked the ferry and unfortunately sailings start after I will be in the area. Hence looking at alternative routes.

Hi, looking for more assistance. Plan to stay at Manorhamilton...should I continue through Ballyshannon, skirt Donegal and onwards to Letterkenny. Or should I head inland cycling towards Strabane. Then next day onwards to Malin Head.

Thank you Norman H . I have plotted the road from Kenmare to Ballyheigue using the back road into Tralee that you recommended.
A huge help.

Thank you all. I have another question, is anyone familiar with the side road between Castlemaine and Tralee, west of the N70 ? Thinking of road surface and if it is a recommended short cut. Local information is just great !

Thank you again..busy plotting my route from Mizen Head. Norman H would you recommend the Priest Leap road or the road further east that comes out at Kilgarvan.

Thank you so much, that’s a great help for my first day. Will get back to you for future days.
