Culloden Battle Sportives

This Saturday will see the newest event on the sportive calendar take place at Culloden. Split into two distances the organisers have given riders the choice of the Wee 43 or Big Battle 85 with both distances starting at the Culloden battlefield site.
I'll be on the Ridley for what will probably be it's last outing before it's winter hibernation and it will also be my last big run out before my Scottish cyclo cross season kicks off next weekend at Callendar Park, Falkirk.

The Big Battle will see riders take in Dulsie Bridge and aloop passing Lochindorb, Grantown, Nethybridge and Carrbridge. The route then joins the Wee Battle at Ferness before returning to Culloden.  With over 3300ft of climbing in 85 miles it will be a decent leg stretcher.
