Home of the infamous winter 24 hour Strathpuffer endurance race, Contin has a huge network of trails. From the rock slabs on Camelback to the loose and steep on Lower Netflix and Permanent Marker, it's no wonder the forest is so popular with riders. 

Who's it for: This ride session is suitable for riders comfortable using Level 5 skills and have plenty experience riding technical natural singletrack and black graded trails. The climb to some of the trails is steep. 

What do I need to bring: Your bike, helmet, gloves, extra layers, change of clothing, lunch, plenty drinks & snacks and a small rucksack to carry it in when out riding. Remember any medication, inhalers, epipens etc. Excess items can be left in the van when out riding. Bikes, helmets, gloves and knee pads are available for hire.

Facilities at venue: Toilets.

Start/finish location: Torachilty Forest car park. OS grid reference NH 452 569. From Contin continue on the A835 out of Contin towards Garve/Ullapool. Just on the outskirts of Contin you'll see signs for the forest car park on your right. View on Google Maps.

Will there be cake at the end? Of course!
