A cycling club made up of folk spread around the UK & Ireland
A few of us had the idea to attempt the NCR 500 in 2018, but start and finish at The Inn on the Tay, adding a few more miles on....
Realistically this trip will take 6- 7 days, including stops in various towns and brewery's/distilleries. In order to make it a reality, I think early 2019 is realistic to get lives sorted out and everything lined up.
I have knocked up routes and there are alternatives for some days. I researched these quite throughly and found night stop overs as well, but everything is up for discussion, obvs.
