Service Description

There are a few ways you can join this adventure. The Ride will start from East Linton and pass through Papple (optional starting/finish point). Alternatively you can choose to join for the Run only (if you don't ride or indeed want to). You'd have to make your own way to the Run starting point by car for c. 08:50 (there is limited parking available). There will be a pit stop at the Lanterne Rough Cafe in Gifford on the way back. Finishing, in what is now customary fashion, at the Crown & Kitchen for a few beers. This adventure offers a tough long uphill ride in Part 1. Part 2 starts with a long uphill run, followed by easy conversational cruising. Whilst Part 3 brings some fast descending and easy pedaling. Total time (including pit stop and transitions) is estimated to be ~5hrs.
