Raising funds for Kingussie High School - would you like to join us on the Kingussie Bikeathon on 21st June. The route is fantastic and the ride is friendly and supported. There's a family route and a more adventurous gravel bike route (you can also ride it on a mountain bike). Come and join us - it's a great day out with fabulous expansive views and a chance to mingle with the locals.
