Event Info

The most beautiful closed road sportive in the UK just became even more beautiful.

Fantastic new route for the full 120km route, taking in the Devil’s Beeftub, Moffat Dale, Grey Mare’s Tail and some of the best road cycling in the south of Scotland. The 88km Challenge route remains unchanged – with the classic Talla and Megget road as the centrepiece.

  • “For me this route will stand out as being one of the best all-round rides I have done in the UK. The climbing was not unduly challenging, the scenery stunning and the descents memorable. It’s a masterpiece of route planning.”
