Big Tree Campervan's Big Day!

Ok, so if you've been on a different planet over the past few weeks and months you may be forgiven for not knowing that Sunday 15th May is the famous 'Macmillan Cancer Support Etape Caledonia' - the UK's only closed road cycle event, which starts and finishes at Pitlochry, and covers 81 miles of awesome Highland Perthshire scenery. This year, as last, Cycle Highland Perthshire are putting on a whole series of fab events leading up to the Etape, including yoga for cyclists, bike maintenance, the official opening of Bike Trax, the MTB skills area at our pals Highland Safaris ..... and lots lots more. Check out their website for a full programme of events.

The Saturday before the Etape, (14th May) is the Highland Perthshire Cycling Festival BIG Day, and Big Tree Campervans are really proud to part of this fab event! It kicks off at 11.00am in Victoria Park in Aberfeldy, and promises to be a fantastic day: free entry; 'The Clan' (Scotland's amazing stunt cycling team... if you've not seen them before, prepare to be gobsmacked!); turbo challenges; bike obstacle courses; hand biking; bike-powered smoothie-making (honest!); kids cyclo-cross races; bike check-ups; bike powered scaletrix; treasure hunts; unicycling... the list goes on, and with over 3,000 people attending last year, and more expected this year, it promises to be a real fun day out!

Of course, Big Tree Campervans will be there as well, and you'll be able to look around one of our campervans, check out the fab 'MaxxRaxx bike racks we use, plus enter a great free draw to win a free 3 Day Big Tree Campervan hire!

The bike theme continues after the fun in Victora Park, with Mark Beaumont's Perthshire book launch of 'The Man Who Cycled America' at 6.00pm in the Breadalbane Community Campus, then yopu can round things off with a Pasta & Cycling Film Night 6.00pm - 8.45pm

So, Saturday 14th promises to be a great day.... and if you're warming up for the Etape on Sunday, or just fancy a great day out with a real focus on fun and bikes, then we'll see you at the BIG Day!
