I've never done anything remotely AUK style. What would be needed? I assume that I would have to take food etc, so panniers would be required? Would there be places to stop along the way? Would I be on my own most of the time? Would I need to grow a beard?
Magnatom, if you are interested in riding the Snow Roads give me a shout. The organiser is a friend of mine and I've also cycled the route more than most so can advise. The calendar events takes place on the Saturday5 June 2010 but you can ride it anytime as it's also a Perm.
I'm sure it's the kind of route which would raise some money as people in Scotland will have all heard of Cairn O'Mount, The Lecht and Glenshee...and will be impressed that you are cycling them all in a day.
Alternatively there is another (slightly shorter) route with the same amount climbing. 228km route with 4800 metres climbing from Kirrie to Tomintoul and back, taking in Glenshee and The Lecht in both directions
