There are many cycling paths and routes for people of all ages and abilities in and around Dalbeattie, and within Dalbeattie Forest there are miles of safe pathways. Dumfries and Galloway Council have produced a useful booklet on the many routes, and they also  have a website about cycling.

If you want to take part in more organised Social cycling,  CTC Dumfries and Galloway organise a range of Discovery Rides and Sunday Rides . Discovery Rides vary from 13 to 23 miles long, with meeting points ranging from Langholm to Drummore, including Dalbeattie.  Sunday Rides are longer, from 35 to 70 miles for more experienced and fitter cyclists.

There are also some leaflets published by Dalbeattie Community Initiative with cycle routes in and around Dalbeattie which you may find useful . Why not combine getting to know the area with some healthy exercise!
Route 1. Route 2.   Route 3 .  Route 4.   Route 5.
