The Rides

Our group rides are free to enter, self-supported, and non-competitive, with like-minded folk for company:

  • Rally Rides are 7-day explorations into every corner of Scotland.
  • Wild Weekend Rides are 2 or 3-day mini-adventures.
  • Roam Free Rides are the DIY option. Contact roamscotland@gmail.com for routes & guides

2026 Ride Schedule:

  • Fort William Wild Weekend Easter 2026
  • The Spine, Edinburgh to Inverness – 10th-16th May 2026
  • Wild Wessex Weekend – July 2026
  • Edinburgh Wild Weekend – Autumn 2026

What is a Rally?

It’s a self-supported multi-day bikepacking ride:

  • Free to enter 7-day group rides
  • Sociable, bringing like-minded riders together
  • Flexible, with tougher and easier options most days

We simply ask those who can afford it to make a donation of any size, to cover our costs and help us in our work to increase access to bikepacking.

2026 rally change: extensive sub-station & logging work on the planned Argyll route means we can’t ride this next year… so the Spine route returns! Edinburgh to Inverness over 7 days.

What is a Wild Weekend?

Well I guess there are other kinds, but the RS version is:

  • Free to enter 2 or 3-day long weekend rides
  • Apart from that, just like a Rally

Our 2026 Wild Weekend rides are spread out geographically and throughout the year. entry buttons for each ride in 2026 are below.
