Road Cycling

101bike.jpg (25726 bytes)101 Bike Routes in Scotland, by Harry Henniker ISBN 1 85158 785 3 is the best road cycling guide to Scotland. Harry, the owner/driver of the BikeBus, became fed up with professional authors phoning him for information so that they could write cycling guides and eventually wrote his own.
    It covers all of Scotland, not just the tourist areas; information about where to stay, ferry times, lots of useful phone numbers. The different cycling areas are contrasted and compared. All the routes are graded for difficulty and there are lots of suggestions for both long and short tours. There are a few mountain bike routes in the book but see also mountain biking. For two short descriptions of what it's like cycling in Scotland see What's it Really like?
    Available from bookshops, larger bikeshops, or direct from the author price £10 plus (no charge for postage). Many  pictures in this web site are published in the book (at much higher resolution!)
