We have a busy month ahead with Help for Heroes, Reach4Reality, Enable (Caithness Branch) and LGOWIT (Nairn) all visiting. Also, it's great to see Nairn Academy and Inverness Royal Academy again after their summer break as well as our many regular individuals throughout the week. Can't believe how quickly the year has passed by.

What a great summer we are having so far. Since the 1st of June we've welcomed 555 visits to the Centre and delivered Outreach to 200 people in Stirling, Lewis, Marybank and Ellon. Really looking forward to hosting SOAR Invergordon and the British Biathlon Development Squad later today.

Thank you to everyone so far who has completed the survey which is looking at the possibility of enhancing our facilities here at the Centre. If you haven't done so already then please take a few minutes to give us your thoughts on the existing facilities and help influence the future of the Centre by completing the online questionnaire below.

What a great trip to Lewis last week. 75 people enjoyed our specialised cycles and a huge thank you to Lewis Sports Centre for hosting the visit. The running track was a perfect venue. A special mention to staff, students and service users from Macauley College, Sandwickhill Learning Centre, Ardseileach Day Centre and Nicolson Institute who loved the bikes. Hopefully see you all again in the future.

Really looking forward to our trip to Lewis tomorrow. We're bringing a range of cycles for use and will be based at the Lewis Sports Centre on Wednesday pm, all day Thursday and Friday am. See you then.

We are always looking for feedback to help us meet the needs of our wide range of visitors. Therefore, we'd be grateful if you could take the time to complete the short survey below. Thank You.

It's thanks to volunteers like Drew that we are able to provide cycling opportunities across Scotland. Here we are at a Young Parkinsons Residential Event in Stirling last Friday. A 12 hour round trip so 35 people could experience a range of standard and adapted cycles. The look on faces when the realisation struck that they could still cycle was an absolute pleasure to see. Many thanks as always Drew and to the Big Lottery Fund Scotland for helping us to create moments like these. #VolunteersWeek

A massive thank you to everyone who visited the Centre for our Open Day / Big Bike Revival Event. It was an absolute pleasure to see over 100 people enjoying our wide range of standard and adapted cycles. From 2 year olds going around the track on balance bikes to grandparents and their grandchildren on our power-assisted quads, there really was something for everyone and we hope that this has encouraged more people to fit cycling into their everyday lives.

What a great turnout yesterday. Weather is fantastic again today, all the bikes are ready and waiting so see you 10am - 4pm for our Open Day.

Really looking forward to our Open Days this Friday and Saturday where you can have a go on our wide selection of bikes, trikes, quads and specialised cycles. Our Velotech Gold Bike Mechanic will happily check your own bike for you and we will gladly take any old bikes/helmets off your hands irrespective of their condition. Oh and don't forget that refreshments are provided as well. Everything is free so drop in anytime tomorrow and Saturday from 10am - 4pm.

Our Saturday sessions start again this Saturday (29th) and will run fortnightly until mid-September. We now have more 2 and 4 person vehicles as well as our usual selection of Trikes, KMXs and adapted cycles so look forward to seeing a few of you then.
