Etape Caledonia Training

There are bikes everywhere in Pitlochry today as people arrive for the Etape Caledonia. The race begins tomorrow morning with the fist cyclists starting off around 6.30 am. The 81-mile course starts and finishes in Pitlochry, going past Aberfeldy, over Schiehallion, round Loch Rannoch and Loch Tummel, and finishing where it started. Its total ascent is 1949 metres, or almost 6,400 feet.
Therefore, cyclists are out for some last minute training around the hills in the area... and of course they have to stop for sustenance and refreshments.
