Ok then, I'm staying five days and doing the lot lol. Sorted.

If I had to pick, then #3 as it includes Grantown to Forres which I know is bike heaven.

All the roads are quite good, its just dependant on how long people are planning on staying..

How long from Edinburgh/Glasgow/Central Belt/Skye(

) to get to Braemar?

25-03-09, 12:31 AM

Skye: 3hrs 30 with fuel stop in good weather. But we're planning on staying with mates or family in Forres/Banff either the night before or after ICR3 depending on work issues.

30 minutes to KG's house and then hang on to his tail lights for dear life, no coffee, call it 2:30

4 Hours from Dfs to Braemar for me, ummmm... I could probably crash at a mates place in Glasgow/Edinburgh the night before so it's not that bad.

Highly unlikely that I'll be able to make a run in May, but I'll keep an eye on the dates and try my best!

i just want to ride the best roads.

Spittal and Lecht roads is a bloody good start though.

But its still dependant on date for me. So far its a Saturday in May? There are 5 weekends. I can't do the 23rd. Any other is fine. Set up a poll maybe?
