Announcing the first ever Rocks and Wheels cycle challenge

April 23rd 2023

This event is open to absolutely anyone who wants to enjoy a great day out riding through the beautiful Dumfries & Galloway countryside. Suitable for all levels of fitness and all cycle bikes are welcome including ebikes, tandems and tricycles.
Using a little pedal power you'll be able to support this amazing project which aims to transform Dalbeattie and create economic growth, tourism, and healthy lifestyle opportunities for the Granite town.
The two routes, Yellow 59km (37miles) and Blue 113km (70miles) use the same roads with an extended loop to extend the distance for the blue route with both rides starting and finishing at Dalbeattie's Birchvale Theatre.
To find out more about the routes, T&C's and to register (now open) visit the website www.rocksandwheels.org.
It will be a great day, a day not to miss!
