Scottish events like WRT and Jennride

I got thinking while dawdling round the lakes at the weekend.
Wales has WRT
England has Jennride
Has Scotland got a similarly relaxed event I've not noticed?
If not does anyone fancy putting one on

Interested as I'm now on mainland Scotland things will be easier to attend, though Wales is still a PITA (and in-laws are there
)

Roam Scotland Rally? Tends to be on the gravel/XC side of things and has a different route each year. Great event, a relaxed tour/explore approach.

Cairngorm loop and just 'dawdle' round the outer loop*, finishing down Glen Tilt?
Wouldn't be hard to have a bit of a social the night before and some perfect camp/bivi opportunities, with good resupply.
*if OK with Colin obviously....

Hee hee.
I was just thinking about this thread again yesterday, pondering where a good "hub" would be. Ideally, somewhere with a decent train link and on a line that has the new carriages. That puts it in the West at the moment where there are fewer route options (geology is a bastard). I'll continue to ponder.

Sounds like we have an organiser
If I get any say as your muse for this event could it be MTB biased please. None of this gravel nonsense
