Rally/Festival

Event description


Our Darvelo cycling festival ride heads into Lanarkshire. Leaving Darvel on the A71, we quickly go onto quiet scenic roads to the south and head for Strathaven and a coffee stop. Our return is to the north of the A71 with views all the way down the Irvine Valley. There’s 1800ft of elevation, but it will be taken at a relaxed pace. If you are apprehensive about the climbs, you can hire an e-bike from The Cycle Station at a special Darvelo rate. Back in Darvel there will be all things cycling with live music, food stalls and Yoga for Cyclists. Please check Darvelo social media for a link to register for the yoga session.
