Trail Grades & Safety
Before you bike...
- If you are new to mountain biking, start on the easiest grade trails and build your confidence, experience and technique before you attempt harder trails.
- Mountain biking is a dangerous sport, so always wear appropriate safety equipment including a cycling helmet.
- Always tell someone where you have gone cycling, and when you expect to be back. Be aware of escape routes back to the trail head.
- Scottish weather can be fickle, so always carry full body water proofs and warm clothing, even in summer.
- Don't forget to take a trail map, first aid, food and repair kit.
