About the Event

Info for Riders

We have two superb routes available taking in some of the best scenery and roads in Fife. With distances and elevation gains to suit your ability, select either the 103 mile or 70 mile route.

Click on the links below to show the route maps.

 

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29323223  - Black Route. The most challenging of our rides at 103 miles, taking in some fantastic climbs. This follows the same route as Red before splitting at Falkland heading North towards Newburgh, returning South then re-joining the Red Route at Strathmiglo.

 

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29325989  - Red Route. Whilst shorter than the Black, this route still enjoys the same beautiful scenery whilst at a more comfortable distance for many. It still represents a challenge though for those wishing to push themselves!
