I ain`t going to lie, i am pooing myself at the thought of this ride, am dreading the Lecht, and i don`t no what sort of state i am going to be in by the time i hit the last climb up to the Cairngorm ski centre.

I really need to drop my weight

I would be tempted if I was fitter and had more spare time.

All you gotta do is finish dude. Is there a better looking ride all year?

Spotted that. A few of my mates didn't get in. Left it too long!! Snooze = lose.

There's already another 250 on sale, might just have a go myself.

In its own right the final climb is not the toughest of the day, however it is still the 4th highest road in the country and with 97 miles already in your legs it will feel like trying to climb Alpe D’huez after first doing the Galibier and Glandon.

No it won't, its a tough climb but not quite the Marmott

Hows the training going for this ride? Thats me just starting to get the hill in for it, a wee bit of more weight to shift until i hit where i was at the end of last summer...I`ve not done a century ride this year, biggest was only about 80 mile and i really struggled on it..so i need to get a big distance ride in soon, i`ve got the Etape Loch Ness as my only sportive before this event, that has a big climb in it and it should give me got test on to see where my fitness is before this monster sportive.

Went out the Tak ma Doon and then Crow road on tuesday, that was 100k. Then Glasgow>Troon>Glasgow today, considerably less hills but another 100k. Not feeling fit enough for the 3 pistes yet but I have Majorca in May to look forward to

What sort of state was the Tak in? the road was starting to get a bit bumpy in places, the council could do with giving it a once over..

Come and do this DIY 200k I've got planned for sometime in May.
