Event-Only Routes

Ready to climb? City and the Sgurr should really be named “The Sgurr”, because it’s all about this climb. (Sgurr is Gaelic for “high sharp-pointed hill”, and the Sgurr’s summit is the highest point on the Scotland map.)
Races here will be interesting, since one side of the Sgurr is gravel, while the other is paved.

This rolling figure-8 route is rarely flat, but always scenic! It covers the same roads as Loch Loop, but a little extra stretch of tarmac through the Loch near Breakaway Brae.

Before any non-Scots ask…’The Muckle Yin’ translates as ‘The Large One’. You’re welcome!
and ‘Sgurr’ is a pointy peak on top of a mountain; pronounced ‘skoor’.

and Glass-go not Glass-gow 🙂
Like Billy Connolly?
He’s the Big yin
These look awesome. Can’t wait. Thanks for the route info ZI.
So all of the new Scotland routes are event only!!
How come “Ride Scotland” (with jersey unlock) has left out Muckle Yin and Loch Loop? 🤔 @ericschlange
There will be rides on those routes in later weeks.
Thanks @EricSchlange At least one lucky Club/Group (Pan-Mass) already had a ride yesterday 😊 I’ll keep my eyes laser focused for any others
Looks great! A bit underwhelming when the Muckle Yin just duplicates the relatively small 27km-ish roads available. Perhaps a large climber on the surrounding Munro’s or an underground mine course. There are a couple holes in the ground on the map with what appears to be a road between them…..
Just did one of the Ride Scotland events, looked at my ride on Strava and thought “I wonder what random Pacific island they’ve set this new map on.” Zoomed out a bit, thought “those contours look oddly familiar”, zoomed out a bit more and realised they’ve not only decided to set it in Scotland, it’s in the middle of the island I live on 😀
What’s the point of creating routes that are non accessible unless you are racing or training!!!!
I want to ride when I want and how I want,not when I am being told when and how I can ride it……I feel a subscription cancellation coming on and going to Rouvy or Sufferfest
Relax. They will be available to free ride next month.

“I can’t ride these 5 new routes when I want, therefore I will cancel and not be able to ride any routes at all at any time.” Seems logical.
Oh the world revolves around you does it ? So they should ensure extra staff are on hand to make sure your running of the course is smooth , despite not being on schedule to be ridden . Expect this route to be on general release after the real event
Good luck ! Enjoy either alternatives . Wouldn’t be surprised if you don’t cancel after all , least not for the reasons stated
