Celebrating with friends - no better way to do this than taking the free Bike Bus and ride route 6 from Gravel Rides Edinburgh, Fife & East Lothian.

The bike bus is back each Sunday & stops at Newmills and Charlestown in Fife, from where you can pick up the route - with excellent coffee stops in Dunfermline, Newmills & Torryburn.

To celebrate, I made this route & a few more from the book available for free on my Komoot profile - 👉 link in bio.

Some of my favourite moments from the Dexshell Cateran Dirt Dash - captured on camera. Organising the events is hugely rewarding, and this weekend was no different. With Louise and Bob I had an amazing team supporting me, and thanks also to everyone working hard to feed us! And to Komoot & Carradice for supporting the event.

It’s been great to see all the positive feedback from riders. One rider described the route as a “mini Highland Trail” - and as Alan’s event was my own introduction to , I think there’s definitely something in that comparison. For most riders there were a few proper Type II fun moments: pushing through steeper climbs and boggy bits, balanced by cracking descents, remote trails and stunning scenery.

I’m already looking forward to doing it all again in Yorkshire soon, and hopefully seeing some of you in Dunoon later this year too. It was also brilliant to finally have a proper chat with Jack Thurston on Friday evening at Alyth Cyclery - and show him some beautiful Lost Lanes around the Cateran Ecomuseum.
