RSF - The Off Road Cycling Club

This is definitely one of my Highland favorites and most certainly an MTB classic. You can start either from Torridon or from Achnashellach (a station on the Kyle line, quite handy!). Be well prepared for this arduous ride, with lots of steep climbs but also rewarding descents. And quite a few impressive highland landscapes, especially in winter (snow). From Torridon first head east along the main road as far as Loch Clair, then turn right into the very heart of the Coulin Estate. Skip the 'easy' way south over the Coulin Pass but take the impressive climb up Drochaid Coire Lair (you have to feel it all in your limbs!). From here south to Achnashellach and then west along the road to Coulags, turn right here (north, there's a sign) and follow the track, passing Coire Fionnaraich bothy before a real sweater up the Bealach na Lice. Having regained cyclonciousness fly down to Annat and the road. To whet your appetite: there's a good article on this route in The Scots Magazine, November 2015.
