It was the most enjoyable sportive I have done.
The organisation was good and the host facilities excellent; the use of tables in the Museum for food after the event was fantastic.
Steve Webster
My first ever sportive and I thoroughly enjoyed
Hans Grupping
Lovely roads, not too hilly
Will be back next year. Really enjoyed this event. Varied roads & lovely views along the route. Actual distance was 54 miles instead of 60.

See you again in 2026
Very well organised and the venue was spot on. Food was very good as well. Only downside?....a finher's medal be a nice touch but fully appreciate the costs involved for doing so. Overall an excellent experience and a good route choice. Here's to next year's one :)
Ewen Williamson
Cracking route with some spectacular views.
Regis Mercy
Lovely local ride
Along with signs along the route, would be good to indicate distance like 10 miles, 20, 30 etc…
Cameron Campbell
Great day out in the beautiful rolling Aberdeenshire countryside
Brilliant sportive, this is the 2nd year I've taken part. Organisation and Feed Stops were great, lovely event staff and we stayed dry this year too! Enjoyed a burger and chips with drink at the end, which comes as part of the event package. Great value for money, thanks to all involved
Adrian McCann

Robin Gatenby
Great event
My fourth year doing it, hope to be back next year.
Tim Allen
Excellent sportive, well organised, friendly atmosphere.
Only slight negative was that the route was 55 miles, not 60 miles as advertised.
Dik Skinner
A great day out for all abilities
Ian Jackson
A really enjoyable day
People should not think this is a flat course - in fact you hit 800 feet of climb in the first 30 minutes. So be prepared. Staff were friendly and really helpful, venue is excellent for managing the numbers who attend. The Brewdog smashed burger was a fitting end to long ride. I attended alone but felt welcome. Will return.
Sandra Walls
Lovely cycle, friendly people.
Elma De Vries
Well organised, enthusiastic crew
Well stocked rest stops and there are toilets there too. Friendly happy organisation and great food afterwards. Nice quiet roads. Deserving of a bigger crowd.

Nice route , mechanic support, well stocked food stations and lovely volunteers
