Evening off-road social cycle – Kirkcaldy to Cardenden trails ride

Explore some great off-road routes between Kirkcaldy and Cardenden on our evening cycle ride. The ride is led and supported by Lang Toun Cycles’ staff and volunteers so you will be in safe and capable hands.

The ride starts at Lang Toun Cycles before heading north out of town. We will head through Sunnyside Woods before dropping down into Cardenden then up through the Carden Den (where the village gets its name) and back into Kirkcaldy via the trails of the Raith Estate. Watch out for the buffaloes!
