Listed under Cycling in Scotland, the United Kingdom. Rated 17th of all Cycling in the world.

This is a week long 'ride of your lifetime' crossing some of Scotland's most beautiful countryside from near Oban on the west coast north to Speyside and through the Cairngorm Mountains to Montrose on the east coast. As well as the passing scenery of green hills, rocky mountains, forests, lochs and wild glens, riders will get a chance to cycle by some historic sites including the spot where (Bonnie) Prince Charles landed during the Jacobite rebellion, Balmoral, the Great Glen and Ben Nevis. Your path, along single tracks, bridleways and country lanes takes you through some of Scotland's most remote and pristine areas.
The route can be varied to suit riders of different abilities, different ascents or roads can be chosen making it more challenging, but the off road sections mean you need to be a strong, fit rider to be comfortable. More experienced riders will relish the opportunity to ride on two of Scotland's great cross country trails, the first at Fort William and a second on the toughest day near the middle of the trip where there is a dramatic crocodile run through woods and streams (this will be the highlight of the trip for many riders, while others will enjoy the section through whiskey country.).
The coast to coast track is a good riding trip for people who enjoy their adventure in the day and creature comforts in the evening: all along the route are comfortable B&Bs where you can expect a traditional highland welcome in the form of warm beds, hot showers and a tipple of what you fancy.
