Last September I visited the island of Raasay for the first time, and a wonderful trip it was despite some very wet weather. Taking my bike wasn’t really an option as I was using a hire car from Inverness, so this was a walking holiday. Having done several Scottish rough stuff routes over the years I was looking at the tracks from a cyclist’s as well as walker’s viewpoint.
The routes seemed to range from ridable forestry tracks to virtually impossible with a bike. Of course I’m sure some members will tell me that what I thought was impossible they’d ridden over with no trouble at all!
