Hi all,
After the success of the first Scottish Bike show that took place this April, they have decided to host another. But this time, they’re introducing a Sportive that runs alongside the show.
I signed up to be kept informed of any updates and received the following info below:

Dear all The inaugural Scottish Bike Show Sportive 2012 will take place on Sunday 15th April around the beautiful scenery of Loch Lomond and Loch Katrine to kick off the start of the sportive season! We are happy to announce both routes for the sportive have been signed off by the local Loch Lomond authorities. The 65 mile challenge ride and the 100 mile sportive will be available for entry within the next couple of weeks and we promise you will be the first to know when the entry is live. Your entry to the sportive will also gain you access to one day of The Scottish Bike Show of your choice.
*Group booking rates will also be available for 6 or more riders. Full entry details to follow shortly. With Balloch Castle proposed as the start and finish point, the routes will include timed rides, steep climbs, feed stations, bike maintenance points and plenty more to ensure a great ride. Fun for the family or the serious sportive rider, why not let your friends and family know about the first ever sportive ride around Loch Lomond and kick off the season with a bang. |
At £21/25, it’s crackin value compared to the Trossachs Ton & other high profile Sportives. It’s even better value considering they also charge £10 to gain entry to the actual Bike Show and that’ll be included in the price!
I think a show of hands at this stage, in preparation for the entry day would be a wise idea along with the fact that we’ll gain a group booking if we’ve 6 or more riders. I’m assuming due to the value, route and that it’s a supported event, the places will fill up very quickly.
I’m in, please let me know if you’ll join me!
Cheers
Barry
Count me in!
