We're heading to Aviemore for a few days in July, can anyone reccomend any good trails nearby. Ideally singletrack and a bit of freeride, red/black grade but any suggestions are welcome. We have cars so able to travel a reasonable distance for good trails. Already on the list is Laggan Wolftrax and maybe Nevis Range. Thanks!

I did some fairly technical red/black stuff in the woods near Loch Morlich just up from a centre called Bagaduish. If you go to Bothy Bikes on the right of the road between Aviemore and Loch Morlich they have maps and can also tell you about the local trails.Commencal Meta 5.5.1

go to highland wildcat http://www.highlandwildcat.com/ bout an hour and half drive north of aviemore, its got a 7km freeridey black/red descent which is superb. you wont regret it.very rocky with lots of drops ,jumps and berms which are mostly un-avoidable, but there is a really good flow to it. the ride up is about 7km too, very technical and difficult (near the top) but ultimately rewarding.
like father faff said you can get a trailmap from bothy bikes for rothiemurchus (aviemore) area, and the guys there are really helpful they may point out stuff not marked on the map for you too.
check here, plenty of trail centres about too http://www.mtb-highland.com/index.asp all within 2 hours drive from aviemore.

Aye, Badaguish, that's the one. There's some fire roads that lead out of it up to some woods where there is some quite technical man-made singletrack. But there are loads of ordinary tracks about that get pretty technical/impassable!Commencal Meta 5.5.1
