Cairngorm Classics
12th June 2010
The UK's highest event on a public road (632m)- Finish
on Scotland's Alpe D'huez! The routes take you from the
heights of Cairngorm through the north of the Spey Valley. This lesser
known area has stunning scenery and quiet roads. Pass some of the
world's most famous whisky distilleries, but don't stop for a dram! The
road undulates through forest and moorland before the final climb to the
finish. Two distances to suite your fitness and ambition. Another
classic is born.
