Date: Sunday 10th April
Time: 10am start (get there for 9:30 to allow for fannying around)
Meeting point: Loch Leven Community Campus
Plan is to ride from Kinross to pick up the black route at the climb towards Path of Condie then onto Dunning before returning via Glen Devon, Knock Hill and Cleish. This is the western section on the map below and has most of the hills on the route. This takes us back to Kinross and there is then the option to ride the Eastern part of the route (much flatter) depending on energy levels and weather.
Post below if you’re definitely coming. I’m not bothered if people hedge their bets until the Saturday, as long as I know on the day who will be there. Similarly, no probs if you opt in then wake up on the Sunday and don’t feel like it – just let me know (email for my mobile no if you don’t have it already).
Wasn’t expecting to be around for the Sportive so never even considered entering, but work I had pencilled in has been cancelled so am probably going to be around next weekend.
It’ll beat the flat and lonely miles in East Lothian, that’s for sure.
I’m new to the road cycling game though, so maybe not awesomely fast. Will there be different groups going? I’m averaging about 16mph at the moment. Is this fast enough to keep up with you huge-thighed cycling gods?
Just discovered there are a group of roadies from my club (Dunfermline CC) doing the same thing on Sunday though they are starting earlier and riding the route in the conventional start-to-finish manner.
Expect to be overtaken by a well-drilled chain-gang wearing tops like this:
