Difficulty: Difficult terrain with longer, steeper hills

Departing from the historic Stirling Castle riders will head out towards the Lake of Menteith before taking on the awesome Dukes Pass climb. Enjoy our feed stations along the way and marvel at the beauty of the Trossachs National Park before heading back towards Stirling and our finish area where you can enjoy a delicious pasta in our post event pasta party marquee all included in your entry fee.

"After years of riding events across the world, as your event organiser, we wanted to bring together elements of what we loved about these events into our own events.  We started with our course; where we took inspiration from the beautiful sweeping roads around the lakes of Italy, the challenging short but steep gradients of Belgium and the steady but long climbs of France.  Next, we wanted to ensure our riders have a great experience and be able to share the stories of the day afterwards and what better way to do this than a traditional Gran Fondo Pasta Party Celebration and entertainment post ride.  We are proud to present Gran Fondo Scotland." 

We welcome riders of all abilities, from beginners to racers, to join us on a great day out.  Whether it's with old or new friends, challenge yourself in either of our 2 great courses which are electronically chip-timed from start to finish.  Although this is a non competitive event, to bring an authentic Italian feel, we will also have signposted Strava based KOM's where you can test yourself on the day against your friends or team/club mates if you wish.
