The Spine Rally, Edinburgh to Inverness – 10th-16th May 2026

Roam Scotland Rally is a 7-day self-supported group bikepacking ride from Edinburgh to Inverness, up the spine of scotland. The main ‘rugged’ route is 660km, 8,540m of climbing and 50% off-road. The less tough ‘rolling’ route is 457km, 5870m and 43% off-road.

The Rally follows the format established by the Torino-Nice Rally. ‘It’s not a race, just a challenge to finish and a question of what to ride and where to focus your efforts’. Riders go at their own pace, with others or solo. Entry is free, with a voluntary donation to our charitable bikepacking society if you can afford it. You’ll receive a detailed ride guide with intersting detour options, a vague suggestion of where to aim for each day and a supportive Whatsapp group.
