Cycle Sportive in Scotland

I don’t do many cycle sportives but, I’m tempted by this Scottish cycle sportive, The Etape Caledonia. The 2 big advantages of this cyclo sportive are:

1. The Scottish scenary
2. Closed Roads

The organisers expect 3,000 cyclists to take part in the second running of this event. It Starts & Finishes in Pitlochry, Perthshire. The distance is a manageable 134 km / 81 miles with a total ascent 1,949m. It will take place on Sunday 18th May 2008

The sportive is also seeking to raise funds Action Medical Research - helping to find solutions to Premature Birth
