From Inverness to Inverness - 7 Days Cycling Scotland's amazing North Coast 500! Scotland is full of surprises and the Northcoast 500 will send you home with a host of memories that surpass your expectations of this rugged land. Our route largely follows the Scottish Tourist Board 500 mile route (but it’s better ;) and takes in some tough climbs and beautiful mountain passes. This tour is designed with the ‘avid’ rider in mind (please see rider types) as it has some testing terrain and the added uncertainty of changeable weather conditions too! We recommend you come prepared. North Coast 500 Level of Difficulty, Distance and Climbing The NC 500 cycle tour is a challenging tour with some longer days in the saddle.
