Squeezing in one last Bonaly Experiment before the end of summer.
New tarmac and new climbs for Experimental Bonaly Hillz V2.1 so please make sure you have the updated route below.
Although the route is all on road, I recommend a gravel bike if you have the option. Road bikes will be passable you just need to believe in yourself and be careful on a couple of bits. I would also recommend bringing lights as the nights are drawing in quickly.
Post-ride drinks at Golf Tavern or Summerhall.
