First sportive of the year was the Callander Sportive which I had done in 2016 although it was a different route this year. Weather was pretty good. Grey skies, 11 degree temperate but dry. Arrived around 9 am and started around 9.30 am. A very nice figure of 8 route taking in many lochs including the closed road at Loch Katrine and two climbs over Duke's Pass. The ups and downs along the side of Loch Katrine were probably harder than that the more steady Duke's Pass climb.
Nicely organised event with good signs and a food stop at Aberfoyle which I stopped at on the second passing.
I was on the Medium course which was 55 miles, 1282 m of climb and took 4 hours to complete. I was still in decent shape at the end although it was pretty tough and certainly felt well tired afterwards.
