Cairn o’ mount challenge will be the next Sportive on the Calendar locally. A choice of 2 routes 30 miles or 80 miles.

The shorter route is on the gentle minor roads of rural Angus with just one significant climb which is over the famous Cathertuns road and into Glen Lethnot. With a refreshment stop at the half way point, this is an ideal starter event for beginners or younger riders.

The 80 mile route leaves from Edzell Muir and make your way to Fettercairn then up the big climb up the steep side of the Cairn o’Mount. Along the slug road to Stonehaven to Inverbervie and Johnshaven using minor roads and cycle path before cutting west towards Brechin and taking in the Catheruns road before returning to Edzell.
