A week or so to go and we are delighted that you are able to join us for our fourth leisurely jaunt around the Perthshire countryside. As you know we have moved race headquarters to the Fortingall Hotel, Fortingall, Aberfeldy, Perthshire, Scotland, PH15 2NQ, www.fortingall.com.
We are meeting at 9am for a continental (Les) or full Scottish breakfast (Jason) with a view to starting the ride at approximately 10.30am. The route should take approximately four and a half hours (Les) to 6 hours (Jason) and on return to the hotel, afternoon tea will be served and there will be a short prize giving. With the new base we are able to start and finish the ride at the hotel which should make things easier, although you may have to queue for the shower or share (as per above)!
Our traditional route has also been amended, at the request of Alberto Mathieson and a challenge laid down by the host Schleck (Stewart Taylor) that he will win the king of the mountains this year. You can view the proposed route by clicking on the following link:
In summary the route is a gently undulating 65 miles, from which you will be sheltered by your CBRE domestiques for the day. Bidons, food, mechanicals will all be catered for in a "Mavic" style by your hosts for the day. For the grande rouleurs out there or indeed the more sociable riders there is an option of a slightly shorter circa 40 mile route which cuts out the final climb.
