FRI 31 AUG–THU 2 SEP Eliminator Bike Festival has evolved in recent years to be so much more than a cycling festival. Yes, there is still Scotland’s only Cross Country Eliminator tournament, the Muckathlon off-road Duathlon and bike racing for kids. But there is also three days of camping (or glamping) to enjoy, live music, kids’ entertainment, food and drink and craft workshops. So you don’t need to be a mountain biker to enjoy everything Eliminator has to offer.
