This year we will be placing a time cut off at Dunning on entering the Dunning-Glenfarg-Dunning loop. This point is 78Km (48.5mi) from the start and to ensure that all riders can reach Dunning for the second time, to take advantage of the feed station again, and to reach the finish before the event close at 17:00 the latest time for entry into the loop is 12:30
Therefore, if you are riding the Black Route please consider your average speed over a very demanding course. We certainly recommend you start the event as soon after 08:00 as possible, and certainly by 08:30
If you are riding the Black Route and arrive at Dunning after 12:30 you will be advised by a marshal to switch to the Red Route and head towards Gleneagles. If you decide to continue on the Black Route please be aware that the feed station and support from the broom wagon may not be available should you require them.
