In June, three of us from The Adventure Syndicate, in partnership with Hostelling Scotland and Cairngorms Connect took our mums on a three day bike trip around the Cairngorm National Park. We wanted to share with our mums the joy we find in travelling by bike and to demonstrate to everyone that age and ability are no barriers to travelling this way. Using e-bikes, easy gravel tracks, hostel accommodation and a special visit to the Cairngorms Connect project, comfort zones were stretched and relationshsips deepened making this one of the most worthwhile bike trips we’ve ever had.
