Skye Sportive, May 28th 2011

Has anyone done this one before?

I was thinking of making the Trossachs Ton in June my first ever sportive, but since I have a few friends doing the Skye event I'm thinking of doing it too.

The profile looks a bit scary, but I'm assured that it's 'not as bad as it looks'


Any thoughts, advice and opinions are welcome as always.


Cheers

Last years ride was featured in the BBC Scotland "Adventure Show". From what i can recall the weather was typically Isles: drizzly/windy but the competitors seemed to be enjoying it. It looked a pretty hard challenge (95miles?) with a fair bit of climbing. On a good day it should give spectacular views if you can find the energy to look at them

Good luck!
