Blue Graded 4-6

Our blue graded gravel biking holidays are suitable for people with limited gravel biking experience and good fitness. 

You can expect to ride for 5 – 7 hours each day. Distances covered will typically be 35 – 65 km (22 – 40 miles), with ascent of between 400 and 1,000 metres each day. Trail conditions will be varied, ranging from quiet minor roads and hardpacked forest tracks to narrow sections of loose gravel, stones, sand, potholes, or tree roots. You will need to have experience choosing the smoothest line to ride. The gravel bikes have drop handlebars, so it’s important to be comfortable riding with them.

You will be met by your Wilderness Guides at Lockerbie Railway Station in Scotland at 11:30am on Day 1 of your trip. Please meet outside the station in the small car park on Station Road, where your guides will be waiting for you. If you need any accommodation recommendations, please get in touch with us.
