WOMEN’S cycling powerhouse The Adventure Syndicate has announced Ride the Highlands, a self-supported tour of the Scottish Highlands and Islands, with the dual purposes of promoting active travel among remote communities and launching their new race team, The Quad.
Athletes Lee Craigie, Rickie Cotter, Emily Chappell and Paula Regener will leave Glasgow on their bikes on the Wednesday May 3, and follow a 500-mile route that takes in the Caledonian Way and the Hebridean Way, visiting schools and communities in Oban, Fort William, Inverness, Stornoway, Harris and Uist.
Having ridden to Oban and carrying camping equipment for the week, the four will be hosted by Oban Cycles next Thursday May 4 for an inspiring evening of films, and a question and answer session.
