We are lucky at Craggan Outdoors to have the beautiful Glenbeg Estate as our base and backdrop. This small Highland estate offers great mountain biking terrain, either using the estate tracks for a scenically focused trip, with views across to the Cairngorms and Cromdale Hills as a highlight, or our custom-designed skills area and / or single-track woodland for a more concentrated technical session. The June 2011 issue of Mountain Biking UK featured some of the trails that we use in a piece about mountain biking in this area being one of the UK's best kept secrets.
Whatever the group type and capabilities, your session begins with your experienced and knowledgeable instructor getting the group kitted out with appropriately sized bikes from our range of well-maintained mid-range bikes, along with helmet, gloves and eye protection to ensure that personal safety is looked after. There will then be a series of exercises on flat ground to familiarise everybody with handling their bikes, before heading out on the trails for your 90 minute to 2 hour session. We guarantee that you'll love the experience.
If you're fancying a longer trip, then we also offer tailor-made guided trips on local trails, or if you fancy doing your own thing, bike hire is also available by the half-day or day. Price per person for guided sessions is from £29 upwards, depending upon participant numbers. Bike hire is £18 for a half day and £29 for a full day. Trail maps are available to purchase from our Clubhouse Cafe, as are all the refreshments that you'll require for before, during and after your pedalling. Why not come along and see for yourself what MBUK where talking about! And in this Olympic year, why not try one of the sports that will be on show at the London 2012 games?

"The views on the mountain biking were stunning, and whilst I enjoyed every part of each activity that we did, the views - especially after cycling up a big hill - were particularly rewarding and memorable."
