A Typical Day

The day starts with a hearty breakfast followed by a detailed briefing outlining the day ahead. We aim to hit the trail at about 10:00am. Your guides will ride at a comfortable pace but we carry plenty of spare maps and GPS units so if you wish to ride at a faster pace or branch out on your own this is an option.

Your guide is there to help you get the best out of your holiday, not hold your hand every minute, so you can relax and get the most out of this awesome trail. We enjoy our packed lunch on the trail and generally reach the overnight stop mid-afternoon.

Most overnight stops offer plenty of additional riding as well as other attractions so whether you choose to thrash the local trails, catch 40 winks or taste the local whisky there is plenty to do. We meet up in the evening for a meal (not included) at the hotel or local pub to go over the days war stories and look forward to the day ahead over a wee dram.

Accommodation

One of the highlights of this tour is the high standard of the accommodation. We specifically choose the hotels, inns, guesthouses and B&B’s to ensure that you enjoy every minute of your stay. All offer a warm welcome to cyclists, traditional hospitality and delicious local food.

Twin Roomshare

If you are booking this holiday solo we will pair you in a twin room with another rider of the same sex.

Single Rooms

A limited number of single rooms are available. As all our holidays are priced per person based on two sharing there is a single supplement payable to cover the additional costs we incur.

Accommodation Location

We will always try and accommodate you at the locations detailed in the itinerary, but because of limited availability we may have to accommodate you at an alternative location. Alternative details will be noted on your accommodation sheet.

Meals

A hearty breakfast and packed lunch is included each morning. Dinner is not included and we generally eat together at a local pub or restaurant.

Baggage Transfer

Your bags will be transferred from your accommodation as per your itinerary and moved onto your next overnight accommodation. We ask you to limit your luggage to one bag of up to 15kg per person.

Equipment

A mountain bike in good condition is essential. Most riders prefer riding a XC type bike although everything from a hardtail to all mountain will be fine. Your information pack has a detailed suggested equipment list which includes standard mountain biking gear such as helmet, cycling clothes, warm and waterproof clothes and a day pack.

Bike Hire

Macs Adventure is able to organise bike hire on your behalf. Hire of a standard good quality hardtail is £140 per week. Full suspension is available from around £210 per week.

Availability

Our guided Coast to Coast tours are very popular so it is best to book as far in advance as you are able to. Up to date availability and dates are available on our website
