ICC Monday development ride – 20 May 2024

The ride will begin from the usual meeting point at Fairways, heading out around the lochs. For anyone who wants a flat route to Dores, this is also possible as an alternative option.

For new folk, the Fairways meeting point is the small roundabout set back from Slackbuie roundabout on the Inverness Southern Distributor road. It is on the section of Slackbuie Avenue furthest from the city centre. Other ways to find this location are to search for “Fairways Business Park” in Google Maps, ///stubborn.relate.wobbles in what3words, or look for the start point of the ride in the Strava route included below.

Please be at the meeting point by 18:20hrs at the latest for an 18:30hrs start. The routes can be viewed and downloaded for your bike computer here:

Longer Extended Lochs route (~26 miles: https://www.strava.com/routes/3093855272005484990

At this stage the forecast for Monday suggests fair weather with a gentle NE breeze. As always, please keep an eye on the forecast and check the forum before attending in case of last-minute updates.

All those wishing to join the ride need to post below by 16:00 on Monday when the ride will be closed.

Please ensure that your bike is in a roadworthy condition and that you are carrying a spare inner tube, tyre levers and a method of inflation as a minimum.

Finally, please also note that we ask that everyone carries ICE (In Case of Emergency) details with them on our rides. An ICE card, or similar, should be carried in your seatbag or back pocket detailing the name and phone number that should be contacted if you are involved in an accident. The ICC Emergency Contact Details Card is available to be downloaded and printed out for this purpose. Please ask for details.

See you there, Jill
