Bealach Mor 90 Mile Cycle Sportive

SAT 4 SEP
90 miles 10, 000 feet = 5hrs 41mins


Sub-6 hours at last! I whacked 20 mins off my PB, to smash under 6 hours for this 90 mile 10, 000 feet rollercoaster cycle race. Got on to a fast moving train before Achnasheen, stayed most of the way to Lochcarron before getting dropped. had a good climb out of there and over to Kishorn, before getting up the 2000 feet Bealach Na Ba climg in 48 minutes. Got blown up the Applecross peninsula by a tailwind, then struggled back to Shieldaig over the never ending ups and downs. Got a great head of steam up for the last 10 miles from Torridon back to Kinlochewe, the adrenaline surging me along for 30 mins, to finish in a time I was totally chuffed about.
