Etape Cycling Event - Perthshire
The Etape Caledonia event will break new ground in the UK as the first-ever timed mass participation cycling event on closed roads.
Scheduled for Sunday June 24th 2007, the 134km (83-mile) course will provide a stern but achievable challenge for up to 2,500 competitors, with over 2,000 metres of hill climbs in the stunning surroundings of Highland Perthshire.
The event will appeal to road racers and cycling enthusiasts, but will also be accessible to the fast-increasing audiences entering triathlons and duathlons across the UK.
The route will take in some of the stunning scenery of Highland Perthshire including the three lochs of Tummel, Rannoch and Tay, with some significant hill climbs. The event will provide a stern challenge for the road racer or enthusiast who would welcome the chance to set a time to gauge against their peers, with the safety of closed roads.
