This pitchy route begins and ends in Glasgow, but you quickly leave the city and head to the countryside to ride the scenic Highlands roads and ascend to the Sgurr Summit in both directions.
After your second descent of the Sgurr you’ll make your way back to Glasgow to complete the city circuit, finishing with the Champion’s Sprint.
