Scottish Mountain Bike Conference 2026 – Breakout Sessions!

With a packed programme on offer at next week’s Conference, delegates will also have the opportunity to shape their afternoon by choosing from three breakout sessions.

This session is designed specifically for tourism businesses.

When someone searches online for their next mountain biking adventure in Scotland, how easy is it for them to find your business, build trust and make a booking?

Facilitated by VisitScotland, this practical session will explore how to make the most of your free Google Business Profile – helping your business stand out across Google Search and Maps and connect with a global audience.

You’ll also hear about the free business support available through VisitScotland to help you develop your business, reach new customers and make the most of the opportunities ahead.

A great opportunity to pick up practical advice and make your business easier to discover by visitors planning their next Scottish MTB adventure.

Scottish Mountain Bike Conference - 2026 Programme Spotlight!

Panel session - Tourism Destination Development and Innovation, Enterprise & Research

Mountain biking is about much more than the trails. It’s a catalyst for economic growth, community development, innovation and creating destinations people want to live in, work in and visit.

At the Scottish Mountain Bike Conference, this panel will explore how collaboration, investment and fresh thinking are helping unlock that potential – and what the next ten years could look like for the sector.

Hear from:

Stu Thomson and Kerry Macphee on community-led development in Aberfoyle and how mountain biking is helping shape a stronger local economy and community.

Ed Shoote from South of Scotland Enterprise and Professor Tom Campbell from Bike Innovation Scotland Labs / Edinburgh Napier University on research, innovation and opportunities for business growth.

Will Clarke from North East Adventure Tourism on the future of destination development.

Peter Eland from the Bicycle Association of Great Britain on the opportunities and wider industry outlook for the decade ahead.

From community ambition to industry innovation, discover how Scotland can build on its strengths and make the most of the opportunities ahead.

Scottish Mountain Bike Conference 2026 - Programme Spotlight!

Our first panel session of the day - Trails and Supporting Infrastructure

Panelists: David Evans (UK Trails Project), Stuart Chalmers (Forestry and Land Scotland), Andrew Donaldson ( Comrie Croft), Ross Adams (Cycling UK) and Ties Van Dijk (Advocacy & Strategy at Shimano Bike Europe Group).

A look at Scotland’s trail network, sustainable trail development and the role of collaboration, investment and long-term planning in creating resilient, accessible riding environments.

With a decent weekend of weather on the cards, why not make a trip to Laggan Wolftrax Centre

This is the last weekend of the year to enjoy the full range of facilities and services at the trail centre, before the café closes for the season. Limited opening hours and updates over the winter will be shared across Laggan Wolftrax's social media channels, so make sure you're following along to keep up to date.

Haven't tried the new trails yet? There's never been a better excuse to visit! The latest additions have brought a fantastic new dimension to Laggan's trail offering, so if you haven't made it along to ride them yet, now's your chance.

Fancy a bit more background on what makes this place so special? Have a read of our blog from the opening of the new trails, exploring the people, passion and vision behind this brilliant trail centre.

Good weather, great trails and a café stop to finish. Sounds like a pretty good way to spend the weekend to us!

This time last year, we were deep into the 7Stanes in 7Days film project with Tracy Moseley. Hard to believe that was a year ago!

It was such a special project! When Tracy first approached us with the idea of revisiting all seven 7stanes trail centres with her family, we were absolutely in!

The aim was about much more than ticking off trails. It was about showcasing the South of Scotland’s incredible forests, landscapes and communities, and inspiring more families to get out, ride together and make memories along the way.

It also gave us the opportunity to support Fresh Cuts graduate Ross La Trobe in creating his first film, putting the skills he’d developed through the programme into practice on a project celebrating Scottish mountain biking.

If you haven't watched it, please do, it it joyous. If you have, rewatch and relive this wonderful family adventure, and perhaps be inspired to plan your own. 🥰

Bring your bike to the Scottish Mountain Bike Conference!

After a full day of talks, ideas and discussion, we’re heading out for a night ride led by members of Tayside Trail Association. It’s a chance to clear your head, get out on the trails and finish the day doing what we love most, riding bikes. Spoiler, you'll also be riding with the legend Tracy Moseley!

If you’re joining the ride, remember to bring your lights!

A huge thank you to our secure bike storage partner Grease Monkey - Active Travel Infrastructure for helping us make it easier for delegates to bring their bikes along.
