Riding the Void - Shimano

TREUN Media House captured and edited this video featuring Shimano ambassador Dan Milner and friend Alex Glasgow as they cross Scotland by train, on mountain bikes.

Perhaps it’s the infamous weather or perhaps the notorious midge, or maybe it’s because they’re a ruddy long way from anywhere, but either way, the wild Scottish Highlands sits off the radar of most mountain bikers. Join adventure photographer Dan Milner and Alex Glasgow on a journey outside the norm, riding into the void.

This is a story about embracing both the rewards and freedom of a mountain bike road trip and the challenges of choosing to do it by train through one of Scotland’s most empty spaces. This is the story of a road trip dictated not by filling stations and convenient trail center car parks but by inflexible train timetables, scarce accommodation options, and a near-total absence of diners. Route 66, this is not.
