Here at the bike shop (the best bike shop in the World), we see so many people from different walks of life, but with a collective reason for visiting; Kirroughtree is beautiful. The air is fresh, the birds sing loudly, sometimes you are treated to fabulous views of Cairnsmore of Fleet, and the amazing mass of stars and planets at night.
Yes, the biking and walking trails here are fabulous, and we all have different motivations for being out here. Some come in all weather, and squelch their way through the shop, others go out with their kids, their friends, some go faster, some go slower. It really does not matter, what matters is being out there in the first place, and don't we feel better for it.
What we don't celebrate too often are the miles and miles of car-less road roads we have in Dumfries and Galloway. When I say car-less, I mean cars can still drive on these roads, but you just simply see so few of them! Being based on location at Kirroughtree, the forest and the world class trails start from our back door, and so the car-less roads are often over looked.
Well, to celebrate this, and to offer a little motivation to get the skinny tyres out and get out there, here's a blog to inspire you:

Ayesha McGowan wants to be first.
Sometimes we all need a wake up call, a motivation, something to impress us, and inspire us to walk, run, swim and ride that little further:

Good luck to Ayesha in her quest to be the first African American professional female cyclist.
Power to your pedals 🚴🏾

This is an outstanding venue, with great and thoughtful staff, and a fantastic chef. The location is well situated. We has been delighted to host our annual event at Chicago venues for the past few years, and the space has been perfect for our group of roughly 300.
