Excellent experience

My 7 year old had a blast on the 2 day mtb skills course. He cycled in rain and snow but still had the best time. Kev looked after the kids really well and i wouldn't hesitate to recommend 42 cycling to others. Will definitely be booking again in the future. Worth every penny. Thank you.

Loch Ness 360 2 day tour

What an amazing Loch Ness 360 Tour I have had over 2 days with Kev of 42Cycling. I thought I was going on a long bike ride but it turned out to be an epic 2 day adventure. Learnt so may off-road bike skills and visited off the beaten track lookouts. There are definitely some big, long climbs and good fitness is required but it was so worth it.

Fantastic being able to share the wonderful scenery and stunning views with you Bev. You were super company and I'm really pleased you had a good time.

Coming soon to the 42Cycling offer is electric mountain bikes, which will allow even those who feel like they are not fit enough to benefit from the wonderful ride around the Loch.

Thank you again Bev, you were an absolute pleasure to guide.

Fantastic experience

Our 6 year old attended the two day Level 1 and 2 MTB skills course. It was great to see his skills develop and confidence grow but more importantly, he loved the experience and wants to do another one straight away! Kev and his helper couldn't have been more encouraging and helpful- I was very impressed with all aspects of the course.

Brilliant Jenny,
A real pleasure and glad Rubin had a blast, importantly he is now Level Two Qualified under the Cycling Scotland GoMTB award scheme. Super well done

Amazing!

My 9yr old son and 6yr old daughter have just completed parts one and two of the Go MTB course and I can't believe the transformation!
The course gave them confidence to do stuff that they would normally refuse point blank to try and all thanks to the dedication of Kev and his assistant Fìn.

Can't recommend 42 Cycling enough as they cover such a broad scope of everything MTB and life values that all ages can learn from!

Top Class Bike Servicing

I approached 42cycling with a last minute request for bike servicing. No faff, got the bike in the next day, serviced perfectly, updated throughout on the progress and when my busy lifestyle got in the way there was no pressure to collect when planned.

Big shout out to Kev for an amazing MTB experience in the stunning Scottish Highlands! He really had thought of everything and was meticulously prepared for any eventuality on our rides. I felt in capable hands at all times. Brilliant guiding, scenery, skills training, mechanics, motivation and encouragement all the way. Thank you!

Great sharing the week with you Richard and I agree with you. The Highlands was invented for MTB, tons of single track gold to be had. You were riding superb on the Coffin Trail. Thank you for your very kind words.

An awesome 5 day MTB cycling trip in the Highlands with 42 Cycling

An awesome 5 day MTB cycling trip in the Highlands. Each day was well thought out and provided an excellent combination of challenge, exhilaration, excitement and above all enjoyment. Guiding was second to none, mechanical skills were required and were superb and tips on how to improve skills were most useful. This will rate as one of the best MTB trips that I have done, scenery definitely helps as it is out of this world. Credit needs to go to Kev who pulls it all together. I would highly recommend 42 Cycling and I would do it all again tomorrow if I could.

Thank you very much for your review Bernie. I'm super happy to have fulfilled your brief for the week, cherry picking areas to suit your group. There is loads more to see, Scotland truly is a mountain bikers playground.

Kev knows what he's doing and cheerful with it.

He was a much needed mechanic we found half way up the King of The Mountain whilst doing the Etape Loch Ness 2021. Sorted my chain and breaks and kept me and my boyfriend from descending into tears (I broke my chain at the very bottom of the hill climb and we'd already spent an hour trying to fix it.) Also kept an eye out for us and cheered us on the rest of the way, making the last 30 odd miles way more enjoyable.

Cheers Kev!

Thank you very much for the review, I was more than happy to help. There is nothing worse than a horrible ticking noise coming from your bike! It can ruin a ride especially such an iconic ride on the Etape Loch Ness.

Excellent 3 days coaching

My daughter had an excellent 3 days with Kev and his guys.
She has done a load of mountain biking skills days with various people and this was by far the best as far as enjoyment and progression.
If you get a chance to book don’t think twice.

Thank you very much Henry, it was a real privilege to entrust 42Cycling with your daughters MTB development. She took the tuition very quickly and it was clear to see the personal investment you have put in with time, kit and equipment. I hope she continues on her GoMTB pathway and achieves level 5. Super show.
