If it's cycle touring you want, there are many quiet roads around
the Cairngorms National Park and the rest of the Scottish Highlands
which are away from busy or heavy traffic.
The National Cycle Route 7 passes through the area with 64km of off road routes,
and most villages are connected with off-road cycle tracks. If you want
informal mountain biking, then the world is your oyster. If you want
organised tracks

easy woodland tracks, more challenging downhill routes and special
white knuckle tracks awaiting you!

Cycle Touring
There are many quiet roads in the Scottish Highlands suitable for cycle touring and your hosts have enjoyed cycling most of the Scottish islands. A lovely on-road trip would be from Nethy Bridge to Tomintoul, Ballindalloch and back to Grantown, using a back road that follows the Spey.
Off Road and Mountain Biking
There are many suitable paths through woods and forests in the area. Mountain bikes can get you from Nethy Bridge to Glenmore via Forest Lodge, Rynettin and Ryvoan without touching a road. You can also get from Glenmore to Aviemore by going around Loch Morlich, across the Cairngorm Club Footbridge and past Loch an Eilein. You can also get from Aviemore to Boat-of-Garten on the Speyside Way.
