Depends on what other 300s are going to happen in Scotland in 2011.
Snow Roads: 4 June 2011
Don't know how that relates to PBP qualifying dates, though.
G, are we allowed to do yours next year as a group perm (with added Magners)?
Yes that would be an idea. I might even have brevet cards by then.
Assuming its the Port Nav 200 you have in mind, Oban would be the most obvious base. A Glencoe start would work best as a DIY with a control at Ballachulish, the birthplace of the magners/sing song combination.
Maybe Easter weekend depending on how many (if any) are planning on an Easter Arrow in 2010. Easter is such an odd one, no calendar events of course given arrows, but there aint very much for those who arent interested in ever doing a york arrow or those of us who have, but remain scarred from the experience.
BTW I rode the Fort William version of the 200 yesterday as a DIY and it didnt disappoint. Amazing to think that I was sunbathing in Lochaline in October when there was such terrible weather over on the East of the country. I can confirm that "Happy Harry" is still upholding the finest traditions of Highland hospitality at his cafe at Fishnish.
If a 200 is too much there is always the option of a more leisurely ride of about 140k by simply taking the direct route from Craignure to Fishnish.
