Entries invited for popular north coast road event Cycling in the Straths 2024

A DATE has been set and entries are now open for a popular north coast road cycling event.

Cycling in the Straths, based at Tongue Village Hall, will take place this year on Saturday, May 25.

There are two routes for riders to choose from. The Strathnaver Challenge is a 68-mile trip leaving Tongue towards Bettyhill and heading inland through Strathnaver to Altnaharra along Strathmore and back to Tongue.

The Ben Hope Trial is a 48-mile ride with riders starting and finishing in Tongue on a loop through Altnaharra and Strathmore.

The event is timed but is not a race. Both routes are expected to be completed in five hours.

Piloted in 2014, the event is a fundraiser for Strathnaver Museum at Bettyhill. For more information and to register, visit: www.cyclinginthestraths.co.uk/
