Dont think i can make it but like the sound of the 5 valley ride, what is the route like? Worth riding another day?

The 5 valley ride has caught my eye as well. I've requested the route details from the organizer, as the website suggests.

Barring extreme weather, I plan on taking part.

Thanks Rasmus for creating the map on RWGPS. I imported it to Google Earth and it looks an interesting route. The hardest uphill part seems to be the 2 mile climb from Crossford to Braidwood. Can anyone say how hard this climb really is?

Aye it was a good day, went on the 5 Valley run and managed to get in with a fast group so made it round in quite good time, the hills were not too bad considering i'd already done most of them before although one guy had a bad crash coming down Tillettudlem but he was ok after a bit of a rest.
