Ride The North 2023

Ride the North (RtN) 2023 is coming to Huntly, Aberdeenshire on Saturday 26 August. There will be two routes (100 miles and 64 miles) …both routes may contain hills.

As always, RtN is a non-competitive event bringing a festival atmosphere as hundreds of riders pass through welcoming villages on the beautiful backroads of North East Scotland.

The maximum number of registrations will be 2,000 (we took 1,234 registrations in 2022 and hopeful for more in 2023).

A challenge, not a race

RtN is a supported ride, with mechanical support, support vehicles, signposting, lunches, mobile coffee stops, refreshments, luggage transfer and of course all the encouragement you will need.

There has been a remarkable boom in cycling over recent years and the North East of Scotland boasts some truly wonderful cycling experiences. Ride the North is not a race, but rather a challenge ride for cyclists of all abilities.

Choose your distance

Ride the North 2023 has two route options of 100 miles and 64 miles.

Our event is a challenge ride which celebrates the love of cycling and the scenery in this part of Scotland. There will be a refreshment stations every 10-15 miles and we work in partnership with the local communities to ensure you are well looked after along the way.

As always, the route will be on the back-roads of North East Scotland, in the foothills of the Cairngorms.
