The 2012 Sportive Kinross got off to a much better start this year. Under cold but sunny conditions and without any car accidents to hold up proceedings, over 650 riders streamed out of the Kinross Loch Leven Community Campus on Saturday morning. With traces of late April snow on the hills (and at road level over the Stronachie and Pathstruie climbs) it made for an Alpine feeling and together with a cold easterly wind the temperature never really got into double figures despite the sunny conditions.

We had 619 finishers. 107 of those were on the Blue route. First back here was Charline Joiner of the City of Edinburgh and a Commonwealth silver medallist in the Team Sprint (Track). Charlines time was an impressive 2:22:04. Hopefully Charline can make it back next year as part of her endurance training for Glasgow 2014.

There were 280 finishers on the Red route (a new route this year. Slightly shorter but a bit lumpier). First back on this route was KCC’s Paul Hutton in 3:53:33.

The Black route saw 232 finishers with Alasdair Bunyan back in 4:29:03.

Please note all times are provisional and are subject to change at this early stage. Any queries on your individual time please contact the organisers at admin@sportive-kinross.co.uk

Our only real problem this year were signs that went missing overnight. Or more correctly deliberately removed (i.e. stolen) This caused many riders to go off route incurring extra miles, extra climbing in many cases and extra heartache! Our sincere apologies for this, we just hope it didn’t spoil your day. This matter is under investigation as it seems that on a whole section of the red route the signs were systematically removed using cutters.

We will have more about the day on this website in the next few days and will also hopefully announce the date for next years event.
