Great for those starting out in the world of bike packing and those with a leaner holiday allowance to play with!

(also, it's a weird way of us trying to lure Rupert back for a third year)

If you're interested in taking part, check out the link 🤘

Introducing The 400!

A wee taster version of the Trans Alba Race, following the same route from Edinburgh, but finishing up in Oban.

This could be you...

Tired. Elated. Whisky in hand.

All finishers are greeted with a hipflask full of whisky and a hug*

It's over 1000 miles long, it's the least we could do!

Entries are open for the 2023 edition https://t.co/VhN0FGSZNZ

Nice ride through East Lothian spotting some of the riders of this year's @TransAlbaRace - the Lammermuirs & lanes provided a good taste of what is to come - wind & stunning scenery. Live tracking is here https://t.co/qL3HRYqWnp #dotwatching #bikepacking #scotland
