[Closed] Darkside: Evans Sportive from Callander this Sunday - who's doing it?

Bumpity

Not doing it - haven't heard of it before - but have done laps of Loch Katrine & back over Dukes Pass - good route, esp. as the water-board road along Katrine isn't (or wasn't) open to motorised traffic.
Hope the weather improves for it.

had intended to do the mtb route on saturday but dont think i can make it now

There is an off-chance that I might pop up for this. I've only done a couple of 50-mile routes this year, and I need to get some longer runs in. Never done the Loch Katrine section either, so very interested. Mind you, there will have to be a bit of melt.

Yeah, I'm having second thoughts judging by the weather. Don't fancy a 45 or 65 in either snow, slush or melt!

IMPORTANT - Scotland Event Update
Dean, Keith and Tony arrived up in Scotland today to start getting for the weekend only to be greeted by lots of snow and closed roads.

We'll make a decision tomorrow but with more snow forecast for the rest of the week there's a fair chance that we'll have to cancel. Whilst it can be fun to get out and ride in the snow the road conditions are going to make it difficult to get to and from the event centre or for us to be able to get out to assist riders if needed.

Updates will be posted here so check back later if you were thinking of attending the event.

Thanks druidh.

Going to get out on the MTB instead and have fun in the mud with the GF ;o)

Scotland Event Cancelled
The weather hasn't improved and with more heavy snow forecast for the next few days we've had to make the decision to cancel this weekend's event that was due to run at the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park in Stirling.

Both the Saturday MTB ride and the Sunday road sportive are cancelled

The Duke's Pass road that runs through QE Forest Park is closed which has been a big factor in deciding that it's just not safe or practical to try and run the event.

If you pre-entered and have already paid we'll be in touch once Dean get's back from Scotland.
