The event starts and finishes at The Muir in the centre of the beautiful Angus village of Edzell. The village church stands in the centre of the Muir and this offers loads of car parking as well as changing, toilet and refreshment facilities.

The two routes are very different: the shorter route is on the gentle minor roads of rural Angus with just one significant climb which is over the famous Cathertuns road and into Glen Lethnot. With a refreshment stop at the half way point, this is an ideal starter event for beginners or younger people or simply a change of scenery for more experienced riders.

The 80 mile route is a different proposition! Leaving from Edzell Muir we make our way to Fettercairn and prepare for the big climb up the steep side of the Cairn o’Mount. It’s the end of May so the snow gates shouldn’t (!) be closed. The reward is spectacular views and a long run down the other side to Clachan. From there it’s a short section on the Slug Road before turning onto excellent minor roads to bring you to Stonehaven. This really is the best of both worlds because from the mountains on the edge of the Cairngorm National Park we are now running down the coast through Inverbervie and Johnshaven using minor roads and cycle path before cutting west towards Brechin and taking in the Catheruns road before returning to base.

Refreshments stops will provide what you need along the way and we are convinced that this will be a memorable Sportive in a beautiful part of Scotland.
