Join us from Saturday 23rd May for a fun filled day of cycling and Mackay Country hospitality. Early arrivals can enjoy a relaxing evening sampling the hospitality on offer in the local hotels before the main event.
Although the event will be timed, it is not a race. Both routes will give riders a challenge with plenty of opportunity to demonstrate cycling skills and stamina. It is expected that both routes will be completed in 5 hours.
Participants will be able to choose from two route:
-
Strathnaver Challenge – a 68-mile trip leaving Tongue towards Bettyhill, riders will then head inland through Strathnaver to Altnaharra, along Strathmore and back to Tongue.
-
Ben Hope Trial – a 48-mile route with riders starting and finishing in Tongue on a circuit via Altnaharra and Strathmore.
-
On the Sunday morning there will be a fun cycle round the Kyle of Tongue for all ages.
After the days cycling relax with live music in the Ben Loyal Hotel with Davy Cowan from 9pm.
