Edinburgh Bicycle: 101 Mountain Bike Routes in Scotland

Published by Mainstream Publishing
Harry Henniker's biking guides have been widely praised, both in the cycling press and elsewhere. This latest mountain biking book has been well worth waitng for. It features routes all over Scotland: not boring routes with only spruce trees to look at, but routes full of variety, interesting for cyclists of all abilities and usually with beautiful scenery. Many of the routes are completely new, and the majority have never been published in book form by anyone else. The text and easy-to-follow maps are accompanied by stunning colour photographs.

In addition to writing mountain biking and cycling guides, Harry also runs a special service for cyclists based in Edinburgh. His friends and bike bus passengers had a great time checking out many of the routes featured here; we hope you do to.
