Err that's just 2,000m of climbing, hardly scary! Anyway, enjoy.

Haha, piece of cake eh Noods?

It works out at around 10 category 3 and 4 climbs. Easy peasy?

I'm fairly fit and i can tell you it is a hard way to spend 5 hours.

You need to visit Cornwall

You need to visit Cornwall

I live next to around 15 Cat 4 and Cat 3 climbs. By that i mean within 5 miles! I am from the sticks, officially.

To be honest though i haven't ridden in Cornwall so i won't compare. I'll just say that Scotland is called the "Highlands" for a reason.

The 2 hardest days of LEJOG are first and last.

Forgot all about this, sold out by 9:30. Never mind, I understand they may be running a 300 next year.

Just some chatter amongst the white noise generate in the world of Audax Ecosse that KCC ---may--- be putting on a Tayside Transgression 300, before the Snow Roads I hope. Not on the calandar as yet, time to move up a level

Edit - Snippet from Faceache:

On behalf of the Kinross Cycling Club I intend to resurrect the Tayside Transgression 300 event for next year on the 24 May. The week after the Mussleburgh 400? Both myself (Trev Keer) and John Myerscough (also of Kinross CC) are past organisers of this event (many years ago) but lack recent Audax experience having been lured away to the darker side of the sport!

Snow Roads is a fortnight later on 7th June.

Got my entry in for the Kinross Black route again

I hope next year the feed station at Dunning has more than a few half-bananas and half a packet of nice biscuits when I get there bad timing as I got there just after the majority of the red route riders it seems.

Oh and whatever club it was that barged their way quite recklessly through the field on the Falkland climb, I hope they either start earlier or ride more considerately

The climb up Falkland Hill is demanding enough without adding in a XC element. Didn't see this whats the backstory?

What colour kit?

Pass... far too long ago to remember! It was just a bit annoying at the time, as I could see others were a bit disturbed by it all. It ended up quite comical as the train fell apart when gravity kicked in and soon there was a crunching of gears and I think one of their chains may have come off or even snapped.

I just remember being on the right had side when the climb kicked up a bit. I was just pacing it easy in the saddle, passing folk wobbling about in the middle, when a club came horsing past, out of the saddle, on my right, and also on the left of the road - it created a bit of a squeeze. Even more so as their momentum ran out and gravity kicked in, followed by the inevitable crunching noises, and as they slowed there was even less road space left! Bit off I thought. Might have been yellow jerseys but I'm struggling to remember.
