Info for Riders

The start, which is at 8.30am with registration opening at 7.30am, is from The Gather, Tarbert, Loch Fyne, heading through the village and north on the A83 before turning left at the junction with the B8024 on to a single track road. This is where the fun starts with a steady climb for about 2kms before the descent into Achahoish and the beginning of wonderful scenery as the loop continues along the shores of Loch Caolisport. The breathtaking views over to Jura, Islay and Gigha demand a quick stop for a photograph. There will be a feed station at approxinmately the half way mark. The route continues through Kilberry, heading east, with some short sharp climbs and sweeping descents, before following the coast of West Loch Tarbert north up passed the Tarbert Golf Club, reaching the A83, turning left, back to Tarbert and the finish. The course is well marked with 'Caution' signs and there are marshals at all junctions.

There is a variety of abilities, some take 2 hours and some take 4, and when you cross the finish line back at The Gather you will receive a warm welcome with an interesting Goody Bag and some nourishing, hot food.
