Scotlands Biking Resort Dunoon, is a town on the West Coast of Scotland that many haven’t even heard of. Wideopen’s Chris Hutchen’s took a trip up with Nash Masson and Kyle Beatie and found warm temperatures, sun, beaches, promenades, yachts and a weekend of perfect riding on the Costa Del Dunoon.

I was joined by Nash Masson and Kyle Beattie to see what the hype was about. We might have been lucky with the weather but there’s a growing scene here and all in time for the Scottish Enduro Series round towards the end of 2016. Scotland has a new mountain biking destination about to burst onto the scene and I’m sure this won’t be the last you hear about this West Coast town!

Glen Thomson Films captured our weekend riding in Dunoon to show you what’s on offer and why we’re going to hear a lot more about this place in the coming years.

Located only an hour from Glasgow Dunoon can be accessed by Ferry or directly from the North and the shores of the famous Loch Lomond. Ronan Duggan captured the weekend through the DSLR giving some behind the scenes shots as well as showcasing some of the fantastic and diverse trails on offer.
