One of the very few UK sportives run on fully closed roads. 120km and 1,200m of climbing through the quiet hill country of the Scottish Borders, out and back from Peebles on the first Sunday of September.
The route
A rolling closed-road loop from Peebles over the Borders hills: Devil's Beeftub, Paddy Slacks, the Moffat Dale col, and the exposed Talla and Megget moorland traverse. Fully closed to traffic, which is rare in the UK, so descents can be raced and groups can form.
Early-September, Peebles
Highs around 16°C and lows around 9°C, but it has dropped to 2°C. Rain on 56% of days.
