ROUTE UPDATED TO AVOID ROADS IN CASE OF ICE (FORECAST HAS IMPROVED SO RISK SHOULD BE MINIMAL)

Where to: Out to the far Pentlands, some slightly boggy sections, heading back via Glassfield Forest and then we’ll fly back along the moor road.

How far: 74km, 1100m ↑

What pace: Faster than our night rides, with less stops but we’ll regroup at the top and bottom of climbs/descents. Not suitable for beginners.

Any stops: Yes! We’ll pop into the Whitmuir Farm Cafe for some food and a coffee.

Meet location: Beeslack High School

You might be wishing for a Mountain Bike on a few short sections (descent off Cap Law and possibly the way out of Blyth) but everything is rideable on a gravel bike. Overall, the best suited bike will be a drop bar bike with 40+mm tyres but any off-road bike will be grand.
