We had a beautiful ride through Torbreck Woods yesterday with sunlight shining through the woods. Check out the menacing grey clouds at the start of the ride. Would you believe that we miraculously managed to dodge all the rain, which thundered down before and after the ride? Fantastic company, and really lovely to be out in the best of the day.

Come and join us on a ride soon! We can't guaruntee weather miracles every week but the chat is always great and the smiles are always friendly 😊

Some of our regular riders are on the cover of this!

It's a great document that helps inform active travel decisions across Inverness and the Highlands. Well worth a browse, as we discussed on our ride this week.

The Inverness Walking & Cycling Index 2025 has officially launched today at Northern Meeting Park Pavilion.

The data shows strong public support for improvements that make it easier to walk, wheel and cycle.

Each year, active travel in Inverness:
• Prevents 223 serious long-term health conditions
• Contributes £75.3m to the local economy
• Avoids 3,700 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions

This year’s report is a partnership between Walk Wheel Cycle Trust and The Highland Council, with input from residents and organisations across the city.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed their experiences. We look forward to continuing this vital work to support healthier, greener travel choices.
