Event Description

After a successful event in 2016, Glasgow Mountain Bike Club are hosting another SMBO event and we’ll showing you great riding there is on offer north of Glasgow. Starting in Milngavie, the event will take place predominantly in Mugdock Country Park and the surrounding areas, including parts of the West Highland Way.

At last years event, the age range spanned 50 years and everyone came back with a smile on their face so we will be aiming for more of the same. The course takes in woodland, moors and even a castle. A mix of walkers paths, fire roads, some fun technical trails and hills mean the event suitable for all abilities whether you just want to have fun or are looking for more of a challenge.
