Busy month

It has been a busy month here at bike and hike. Sorry I have not been keeping this site up to date.
The baggage transfer side of things has steadily increased on the Rob Roy Way with some transfers on National Cycle Route 7.
The On Your Bike courses have continued particularly on a Saturday in the middle of the day with around 6 participants. This cycling improver course uses tracks and parks in and around Bellahouston and Pollock and venturing into the city. This Saturdays plans are to cycle into the city and Kelvin Park.
The weekend the 16th, 17th and 18th saw 18 adventurers taking part in the Glasgow On Yer Bike programmes first weekend away. Leaving at 4.30pm on the Friday and heading for Aviemore Hostel.
The Saturday trip took the group out to Boat of Garten, Loch Garten, Tulloch and the Abernethy Forest to Ryvoan Bothy and into Glen More and returning to Aviemore with some of the group going around Loch Morlich and the others heading back to the Hostel on the road. This was approximately 27 miles and some of them very challenging. The weather was very unkind to us showers that lasted 4 hours and then the midges!
The Sunday morning was a little shorter12 miles, heading for Loch an Eilen and the Rothiemurcas forest and another visit to the cafe at the forest visitor centre in Glen More returning to Aviemore by the cycle track and road. The evenings were a do as you please, with some venturing out to see the bright lights of Aviemore.
The initial feedback was' when are we doing it again'.
Look out for the On Yer Bike autumn and winter programme for more information.

bike and hike services welcomes Trossachs Transfers

As of today 1st June 2006, the baggage transfer company trading as Trossachs Transfers becomes part of bike and hike services. Trossachs Transfers provided similar services to that of bike and hike on the Rob Roy Way and within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.
Due to a family illness the previous owners have decided to withdraw from the business.
The plan is that in the immediate future that the 2 trading identities, bike and hike services and Trossachs Transfers will continue as separate identities but will trade as one. All enquiries regarding the services will be directed to myself through the bike and hike, e-mail address and telephone number. Any further developments will be posted on this site as and when they are arranged.
