Scotland : Perthshire Etape Caledonia 2013

[Pedrosanchezo]

You going for the top Perthshire rider prize? Judging by your strava haul you'll be in with a right good chance

Probably won't be the fastest in my club mate!!! All from Perthshire, lol.
I'll give it a go though. Drop them with 20 mile to go Cancellara style.

Bit shocked at this

If this is true (what is the source of the information) then I think it is shocking. We should be boycotting this event if it is advertised as a charity fund raiser when it's a 'for profit' run to line the pockets of millionaires.

This could be argued as being false advertising. Almost akin to beefburgers containing horse meat.

This could be argued as being false advertising.

What, you mean the bit where it clearly states that none of the entrance fee goes to the charity?

I so wanted to ride the good bike too!! Carbon rims and wet braking don't mix.

Beautiful part of the country, Beastie... Set off from Forfar, went over the Cairn...Banchory was having a heatwave....turned west towards Braemar, and the wind smacked us in the chops all the way to Spittal of Glenshee....coming back through Glenisla was great, 20-26mph all the way.....

Yeh weather is changing daily. Now reads as sunny in the morning and rain from late morning - noon.

It will change again tomorrow.
