Etape Caledonia, (the 2013 edition of which takes place on the 12th of May), was the UK's first closed road cycling sportive. The event, part of the Highland-Perthshire Cycling Festival, has proved a roaring success and introduced the region to cyclists from across the UK.
My personal Perthshire discovery
came by way of seeking a ride to interrupt the car journey from
Edinburgh, up the A9 and into the Highlands. What
I discovered, and what thousands of others can already attest to, is
some of the best cycling you’ll find anywhere in the world.
