Off to climb the big one

by ianod on June 17th, 2010

Today’s the day to climb the big one, bike’s loaded on the car and we’re on our way to Loch Carron, where I’ll be getting back in the saddle to climb from sea level to 626m, up the Bealch Na Ba. Not sure if I’ll be turning the pedals all the way to the top but I will get there!

About

As I've got steadily less and less fit over the last ten years, I decided I needed to set myself a big challenge and I roped my Dad in to.

We're going to cycle round the North coast of Scotland, from Gairloch to Cape Wrath to John O Groats to Strathpeffer. Exact route will be posted shortly, but it will be a total of over 400 miles. And then we're going to finish by cycling up the Bealach na Ba, the second-greatest ascent of any road climb in the UK, rising from Applecross at sea level to 626 metres!

We start on the 7th June.
