Adaptive riding

Muck n’ Mac Fest is excited to announce that this year’s event will be open to adaptive cyclists.

Working in partnership with the Adaptive Riders Collective (ARC), the event is providing a 40km cycle route which is suitable for off-road adaptive cycles. The camping facilities and event village will be accessible with a path throughout the camping area and event village, and ARC will be on hand to support adaptive riders and campers throughout the weekend. ARC will be supporting the 40km ride on Saturday and will be offering two 20km led rides on the Sunday, which will be available to all cyclists.

This event is looking forward to being part of cycling in Scotland becoming more inclusive for all.

Adaptive riding timetable

• Friday | Evening of Talks and Film
• Saturday | Adaptive ride with 1x timed stage - 40km
• Sunday | 2x guided Adaptive Rides with ARC - approximately 20km

Leave no trace

Muck n' Mac Fest is staged in one of the most stunning locations the country has to offer. The trails are glorious, the roads are epic. 

One of the driving forces is to operate an event format that is as environmentally friendly and sustainable as possible. When out on the trails and roads it is the policy to remember a few key points:

• Other users are in these areas
• Be cautious to the landowners and other users
• Respect the privacy, safety and general working livelihoods of such people living and working in these areas
• Leave the land as you see it
• Many of the trails pass through farmed land
• If you see a closed gate, you close it after yourself
• Remember that the outdoors can never be made risk-free
• Please act with care at all times for both your own safety and that of others
• Absolutely no littering, under any circumstances

Great event! This is my second time at Muck ‘n Mac and I’ll definitely be back in 2025. Something for everyone to do in terms of afternoon/ evening activities, as well as the actual routes themselves. It is an extremely well organised event and cannot wait for next year! Lexi Ligeti
