SHAKEOUT RIDES
Nothing beats a shakeout ride with friends — new and old — to settle the nerves and stretch the legs before (or after) a big day on the gravel.
Join us and our event partners for a series of guided Shakeout Rides across the Gralloch weekend. Each ride offers the chance to explore incredible local routes around Gatehouse of Fleet, share stories, and roll into the weekend feeling ready and inspired.
Full details, routes and RSVP links will be available soon.
