GCP North East 250 Bikepacking Adventure 2020

The start / finish point will be the ‘Window to the Sea’ monument at the Bridge of Don end of Aberdeen Beach Front and we will be leaving at 8am sharp on Thursday 4th June.

There is plenty room for your friends / family to park a car if they’re dropping you off / picking you up. This is your chance to see some of the most amazing scenery around Scotland’s north east while achieving the most epic bikepacking adventure you’ve ever had.

Staying in any of the NE250’s locally owned accommodation options of your choice, you’ll ride around the NE250 route on gravel or by road as you desire and meet the rest of the party by the fire at the end of each day for a dram / beer / wine / Vimto for story sharing.

GCP will provide full route details for both Gravel and Road route options as well as suggested start times and target speeds so you can make the best of your experience at your own pace.

A wee disclaimer:

This event IS NOT:
A race
A fully supported event

This event IS:
A chance to try out bikepacking without camping (unless you really want to camp!)
A chance to experience the North East by bike (especially the parts you haven’t
A chance to ride with friends
A chance to see some amazing sunsets
A chance to meet other cyclists from the area

Possible routes, for road bikes, have been reproduced below. More, including those for off-road/gravel, will be added in the coming weeks and months. To help keep informed on the event, and some ideas that others have had, there is a ‘Discussion’ on our Facebook Event page; https://www.facebook.com/events/2574624732824580/?active_tab=discussion. Alternatively, drop us a message at info@grampiancyclepartnership.org and we will do our best to get back to you as soon as is reasonably practicable.
