Whitelee - has a Brilliant selection of Gravel Cycling MTB π². Living & π΄π½ββοΈπ΄π½ββοΈπ΄ from Eaglesham itβs right on our back door ! . I have been utilising itβs many facilities for the last 3 to 4 Years. Nearly every week - Year round - So many options, hardly every π΄ the exact same route twice !. TIP - One Wind Turbine looks like the rest - Pick up a Map !. Either at the Visitor Centre ( good π₯£π«βοΈπ°π₯ͺπ) or at the Display Board @ Blde Display. Other options utilise the Ardochrig entrance/exit for EK/ Strathaven/ The Heron π₯£π΄βοΈπ«π°

Based in Eaglesham This is really our π² playground. Just so many options on great Gravel. Once you get beyond the fab LochGoin circuit - donβt expect to see (sometimes anyone ) many others . TIP ; Pick up a Windfarm map , available at either the Visitors Centre ( great Coffee βοΈ, Soups, Eats and snacks & helpful staff) Similarly Kate, Fiona & Nick the Whitelee Rangers. If Centre/Rangers office closed there are maps at the Info board beside the Blade Display. Because believe me - even after Years of π² around Whitelee - 1 turbine just looks the same as the Hundreds !. However they are all numbered and with the Map π. Hoping that 2025 there might be regular Cycle Meets - So watch this space π€.

The visitor centre and cafe at Whitelee are a super good visit location for you and the family. It is educational, interesting, and it has a great cafe. In fact, it is fascinating to hear about the UKβs largest onshore wind farm. You can also hire bicycles here if you want to ride around the rather large wind farm complex.

The spine road is a key route across the windfarm giving access to many more interesting loops around the turbine arrays.
