The inaugural edition of the Highland Trail 550 in 2013 began with just 27 riders. Organiser Alan Goldsmith had crafted a route that took riders to the most remote parts of Scotland. The weather, as usual, ensured all four seasons would come and go making for heavy bikes if riders were to get around.
