North Coast 250

Highlands • Start/finish: Inverness • Distance: 250 miles • Riding time: 5.5 hours • The North Coast 500 is a massive attraction... but also a massive ride. This day-long route sets off from Inverness in a similar fashion but loops back to the city without going all the way to Durness and John o'Groats, packing all of the thrills of Scotland's most popular route into a shorter, more manageable trip.
