Got a good 100 miles under my saddle this weekend, next Saturday likely to be next time on the bike given work commitments. Looking forward to it.

Signed up for the St Andrews sportive the day after but thinking of doing the Perthshire 50 miler. Don't think it will sell out so might wait a few days and see.

@Col5632 @tug benson @Louch - don't go stealing all of my KOM's guys. Leave me some.

Edit: Actually i am now 2nd on the climb out of Dunkeld. We done a club run over that way an whippet boy took it by 10 seconds. I tried in vain to close him down but he's got the power to weight ratio of a bloody ant!!!

I am no threat to any hill based Kom's!

Hi

I hope you are looking forward to this weekend’s Highland Perthshire Challenge as much as we are.

The long range forecast is looking good and, checking the route last week, Perthshire was looking as beautiful as ever.

The event starts at Perth Airport at Scone and there is plenty car parking. Post code is PH2 6PL. We will start in groups of ten cyclists, every two minutes – you can start anytime between 8am and 10am.


* The stewards will direct you to the car park and the Registration desk where you will be able to collect your Event Number, Electronic Chip and some further information about the event. This will probably answer any questions that you may have but please don’t hesitate to ask one of the stewards if you have any queries.

* Water is available at the refreshment tent and there will be filled rolls, bananas, cereal bars and cakes available here at the end. There are three feed stations on the 100 mile route and one on the 50 mile route. There is also a café at the airport offering hot and cold drinks, snacks and meals.

* Toilets are located adjacent to the registration point. On the 100 mile route, there are toilets available at the feed stations at Aberfeldy and Pitlochry.

The Highland Perthshire Challenge is entirely run by volunteers which means that most of the registration fees can be donated to our two chosen charities. We are so grateful for your help with this and together we will raise a lot of money on Saturday – check out www.facebook.com/MalawiFruits for details of the work we do.


There are route maps available at www.highlandperthshirechallenge.org

We have 153 cyclists taking part at the moment and would welcome all latecomers – do put the word around so that friends don’t miss out on a great day.

Look forward to seeing you on Saturday


Regards

Kevin

Any of you guys decent climbers? Have just looked at the route profile for this ride and from km number 58 to km number 75, with the exception of 3 or 4 very short flat/downhill sections, its uphill all the way!! Ten miles of climbing!!! Thank God the last 6kms are all downhill.
