Local cycle club West Highland Wheelers based in Fort William have Britains biggest downhill cycle track on the slopes of Aonach Mor.

The ambitious project will see the use of the Nevis Range Gondola system to provide uplift to the top station at 2000 feet from where riders of all ability will be able to hurtle or pootle down to the base station at 200 feet, covering a course of approximately 2-3 km. The unique uplift, coupled with the largest vertical drop and length, makes the course extremely popular with both hardened racers and anyone wanting to have a try at this exhilorating part of mountain biking.

No other UK venue can offer the magnitude of course and facilities on offer at Nevis Range and the Scottish race series have already booked up for a Y2K round of downhill and cross country races. The ultimate aim for the club is to host a world cup event which would see world wide coverage and representation whilst having enormous potential benefit for the local area.

Making this project become a reality has seen much hard work by the club and the much needed funds have been made available by the following extremely nice people:
