Gravel routes will be on various surfaces so a gravel bike, mountain bike, hybrid or cyclocross type bike would be best suited. Road route is best suited to road bikes.

THE ROAD CHALLENGE- 74 miles

A new 74 mile route on road- it's a challenge! Start Time 09.30.

The 74 mile route is smooth tarmac, as much as Aberdeenshire roads can be considered smooth, all the way with participants mainly cycling on quiet B roads other than two small sections on the A950 and A920. The route will be fully signed and there will be two feed stations along the route, with approximately equidistant sections.

THE GRAVEL CHALLENGE- 54 miles

If the 74 miler is too far and the 23 miler not far enough this may be the one for you! Start Time 10.30.

The 54 mile gravel route has a few new gravel sections not previously used with participants cycling on quiet B roads, farm tracks, estate paths, forest gravel roads and purpose built cycle paths (disused railway lines) throughout North Aberdeenshire. The route will be fully marked with busier junctions also marshalled by our team. There will be a feed station approximately halfway round the route.

THE MINI GRAVEL CHALLENGE- 23 miles

23 mile route may be suitable if you are new to cycling or too scared to try the longer routes. Start Time 11.30.
