RIDE IT Callander Road Sportive (Saturday)
RIDE IT is a series of non-competitive cycle events taking place across the country and aimed at riders of all abilities. At every ride you’ll find a choice of fully waymarked routes, well stocked feed stations sponsored by High 5 Sports Nutrition, mechanical and sweeper van support if things go wrong, electronic chip timing to record your ride and a finishers medal waiting for you at the end.
Set in the heart of the Trossachs, this ride is breath-taking from start to finish. An abundance of the fine Scottish scenery makes this a beautiful route passing numerous lochs and some great climbs along the way.
We have managed to arrange the use of the closed road section around Loch Katrine this year which means miles of traffic free riding. The route starts off along the shores of Loch Venachar before climbing over the back of Dukes Pass and descending into Aberfoyle. The medium and long then strike out for Loch Katrine and the closed road before climbing back over Dukes Pass for a second time. More great riding will bring you back to the event centre and a well-earned medal.
Please note, the closed road is private so if permission is withdrawn we will revert back to the original routes.
Does this count as social media?
But down the line it can put a big dent in its resale value which ups leasing costs and the amount of cash an owner is throwing at their status...
Only reading the headline on the homepage, not the rest of the article, but I only ride mountain bikes and I still get close passed...
Fair enough, personal experience may trump (not that one) theory. However, the bonking I have experienced has been due to lack of carbs. Your point...
Agreed, but he was still right to publicise the event. The police, if they're anything like Lancashire, will do nothing at all.

How can anybody reject the beauty of that? It's a wonderful mix of modern tech yet absolutely functional.
in the UK we have policing which to a greater or lesser extent relies on assistance from members of the public......
Just wanted to share a quick thank you to everyone who helped out in this thread....
So...don't cycle on it. Lots of other routes around that area. Source: I used to work there.
