Cycling roadshow to coincide with Etape Royale

Moray Council is to hold a cycling roadshow in Dufftown this weekend to coincide with the Etape Royale event.

The roadshow will take place at Mortlach Primary School from 10am on Sunday and is free of charge.

It will provide an opportunity for people to try out a variety of cycles and to talk to staff from the council’s transportation section and access leaflets and other information.

Families will be made especially welcome and there will be a range of bicycles for children to try out.

There will also be an accessibility obstacle course designed to help people understand the daily travel challenges faced by those with mobility problems.

The course has been devised by the council’s equal opportunities officer, Don Toonen, in conjunction with the Moray Equalities Forum.

Moray Council area stretches from Tomintoul in the south to the shores of the Moray Firth, from Keith in the east to Forres in the west. The council and its 4,500 employees respond to the needs of 92,500 residents in this beautiful part of Scotland, which nestles between Aberdeenshire and the Highlands.

Famous for its colony of dolphins, fabulous beaches and more malt whisky distilleries than any where else in Scotland, Moray is a thriving area and a great place to live.

Headquartered in  Elgin, the administrative capital of Moray.
