Interestingly . The Dragon's Teeth sportive organised by the same bunch over the same area only had about 50 entrants & that was in August (I think): odd

The Dunfy one on April 1st this year was a toughie....out to Yetts Of Muckhart, then back through Glendevon to Dunning, etc..... Weather was great, very warm. Organisation was good.I've done the Dunfermline one the last 2 years, only done the short route though.
Kinross one seems super popular
Just waiting for them to announce date for 2013....

I just hope they increase the numbers....and that really is a crazy amount of interest in this event, says a lot about it i suppose

that looks pretty ace, i'll have bedded in a new bike by then as well, it'll be my first venture into sportives so i'll just go with the shorter distance and see how i get on with it all.
Cheers for the heads up

Is it organised by the same people who do the st andrews one as the website seems the same and the tips etc seem the same, looks a good one though
Hopefully be on my way to buying my bike around that date

Yes I had a keek last night and it was sold out ages before, 700 places in about 12 hours, wow.
Tour of the Borders would be good, I did the Tweedale ride last month and it was a fine ride, quite challenging in places.
Highland Perthshire last June was well run too.

We have a few on our doorstep, we have the dunfermline one, the kinross one and there was one in stirling in august, also the capital to capital ride looks fun
I just done my first sportive in august, i`ve only had my road bike since the first week in may and i`ve only been cycling for 1 year....once you do one you will be crying to do more, my first one was the st andrews sportive, this is the one i done
