Scotland : Dumfries & Galloway Evans Ride It - Langholm 19May

[DaveK]

Has anyone done this before or doing it this year? Doesn't seem to be a map available yet for the routes.

Doing it this year, think this is the first year for it

think it`s the first year for it, i think it`s a festival thats on all weekend...I`ve asked on the evans website for route maps and all they`ve said is check back nearer the time

evans are maybe the best value for money sportives but this one is a bit far for me to travel to

am doing the evans ride it in callender near the end of march, think that one is now full

Cheers for the replies. I have my first sportive (Tour o the borders) in April (70miles) so very tempted to sign up for the 90mile Ride It.

And it seems a bargain at £15 + free High5 Race pack

Am also signed up for the tour o the borders, looks a tough day of climbing ahead

 

[DaveK]

I'm off to be a little bit sneaky and do part of the Tour O loop tomorrow morning. Will report back how many times I had to walk

 

[DaveK]

Well I've signed up for the 90 mile route. The weather certainly can't be any worse than last weekends Tour O the Borders.
I've got 4 weeks to get my legs and arse ready for that distance as its the longest I will have ever cycled.

That's me entered for the 90 miler. Looks like quite a tough route

 

[DaveK]

Just a bump...a week on Sunday and my suffering begins! Many others signed up for this?
