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.
My first ever sportive and I thoroughly enjoyed
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.
This was a really great event!
The post cycle burgers & beer are always excellent. Easy parking too!
Good ride, good friends, good food & drink
Magical bike ride, with a great burger and pint at the end.
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 :)
Cracking route with some spectacular views.
Lovely local ride
Along with signs along the route, would be good to indicate distance like 10 miles, 20, 30 etc…
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
Good well organised
No photography?
Hi Adrian, you should have received a post ride with a link to the photos.
Great event
My fourth year doing it, hope to be back next year.
Excellent sportive, well organised, friendly atmosphere.
Only slight negative was that the route was 55 miles, not 60 miles as advertised.
Thanks for the review. We use Komoot to plot our courses and advertise the distance using there software. Apologise for this.
A great day out for all abilities
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.
Lovely cycle, friendly people.
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.
Brilliant
Well organized event
Excellent organisation
Really well run, organised and start and finishing station was awesome .. brewdog gave a spectaclar event station, food was excellent too.. will deffo be back.
Great to have parking next to the event as well
Scenic beauty
Nice route , mechanic support, well stocked food stations and lovely volunteers
Maybe a medal would encourage more people to enter (environmental friendly one )
