The exact route for the 30th March will probably depend on the weather and wind, but plenty of choices.

Likely to include one or two climbs. The Cairn (prob the most iconic climb) is closed to cars just now as a lorry damaged a bridge – but passable by bike.

Meeting at the Premier Inn, Portlethen for a 9-9.30pm start.

I will be at the football on the Saturday. It’s sold out, so nae joy apart from Gassman who has a ticket.

Still planning for this to go ahead at the end of March. 🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️

We can look again once we know possible weather at the end of March, but good to see plenty of interest. A couple local lads would prob join us as well.

Chris – no obvious campsite in Portlethen but Stonehaven is 7 miles away by the main road (but if you’re thinking of cycling it’s 10 rolling miles).

Allan – I remember 7 days in Mallorca. I would rather do loops of Hardknott pass 🤣

I am 141 on reserve list and likely to take campervan if I get in.

And… no don’t even think of it!

I also entered. Not sure if that’s wise for a non-cyclist.

Apologies, I won’t make it on Monday.

Is there anywhere safe to leave a car ? Isn’t it a dodgy area….

[Derek Skinner]

Sounds tough – but not as tough as watching Scotland 😫

[Derek Skinner]

Jim, it’s worth doing even if solo (and weather ok). I was lucky to tag along with Philip and a few folk he knew, but there are so many others doing it you are bound to get in groups.

Best event I did last summer, just clashes with my tour of 🇩🇪⚽️.
