Feedback
‘I can’t say enough about the Dunoon Dirt Dash and the route we followed. It offers so much for riders of all abilities and is a perfect weekend adventure to fill your soul. You’ll be invigorated by the wonders of the Cowal Peninsula and come away buzzing with new experiences and new friendships formed.’ Brett Cotter on bikepacking.com
