This event is the only one of its kind in the North-east.Richard Watts, director of CycleHighlands, said: "This event is a must for those who enjoy cycling. Last year, around 300 people came to Ballater for the day and we hope that we can attract even higher numbers this year."There are also more exhibitors taking part this year, with some of the best mountain bikes available to try. The setting for the event is second-to-none, the natural terrain of Royal Deeside makes it perfect for mountain biking - from easy forest trails to challenging hill climbs, there are routes to suit all abilities.
