Seems to be open for entry now, £150.

Which is pretty expensive for my tastes...but on the other hand includes camping, food and entertainment so maybe i'm just being cheap. Anyone planning on going?

I've read about 5 different articles on it now and I'm still none the wiser, except that practiaclly all of the pics seem to be on dirt roads?

Think Enduro on gravel bikes.

From the [url= http://grinduro.com/scotland/the-race/ ]site[/url].

It’s a 60-mile loop of pavement and dirt, where finishing times aren’t based on overall loop time, but four timed segments.

Segment One is a 6km wide open, non-technical climb with a few dips to practice your drafting.
Segment Two is a 2km technical singletrack section which twists and turns through the woods and gradually descends to cross a small stream.
Segment Three is a 3km blazing fast forest track descent.
Segment Four is a 2.5km singletrack climb through the forest with a few punchy gradients to break the rhythm.
