Mosey to Markinch cycle ride

Glenrothes is known as a new town, although it is now over 70 years old. However, this means the town has very little old infrastructure and was built with a good network of off-road cycling and walking paths. Join us for a leisurely bike ride where we will show you some of these routes around Glenrothes. We’ll be cycling from Kirkcaldy to Balbirnie Park in Markinch and back.

This ride is ideal for people looking to build up their fitness and discover some longer routes in the local area. It will also highlight quiet routes for anyone wanting to commute to Glenrothes or Markinch.
