 | What is Trail Riding? |  |
It is not mountain biking, though you can use a mountain bike. It's not necessarily about being off road though you may be. It's about avoiding traffic, avoiding danger and pollution. Its cycling on reclaimed railway tracks, towpaths, reservoir trails, estate or forestry tracks.
 Trail riding can vary in its severity. Many are suitable for families, for children over 4 years riding solo, for bikes with child seats or trailers, and for bikes for those with disabilities. Surfaces are blacktop or compacted limestone or gravel allowing for easy riding. Some are more demanding and are best suited for the more experienced cyclist where surfaces may be a bit rougher.
Here in Grampian, as you would expect, we have all types. To help you get the most from the trails we have details on start points, terrain to expect, facilities on route etc. If we have missed something you would like included then let us know.
