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€.

Whitlee Wind Farm is on the Eaglesham Moor in Scotland. It is the largest on-shore wind farm in the UK and the second largest in Europe with 215 Siemens and Alstom turbines that have a total capacity of 539 megawatts. Due to its close proximity to Glasgow it is one of the first examples of a large scale wind farm in close proximity to a large population. The wind farm is an impressive site and epic to cycle through. The Isle of Arran can be seen in the background on a clear day. Beneath the wind farm sits an extensive network of great quality gravel tracks to work your way through.
