Lang Toun summer trails – Kirkcaldy orbital off-road cycle
Join us for an off-road adventure! Starting from the rear yard of our Active Travel Hub, this cycle takes us on a full loop of Kirkcaldy and Dysart via as many off road sections as possible – some sections are well known and some are more hidden.
The ride will be led by Greener Kirkclady’s Active Travel Project Manager, David Glover who is an experienced mountain bike rider, racer and multi-day bikepacker. David has a Mountain Bike Leader qualification and as a UKCC Level 2 MTB coach, so you will be in safe, capable hands.
The route map can be found here.

With riding on all types of surfaces, there will be elevations changes to challenge you going up as well as down, and plenty of chance to share stories and the fun of off-road riding.
Please bring sufficient fluid and snacks to keep you going for 3 hours of riding
