Saturday 11th September 2010From the hugely succesful organisers of events such as the Hope Endurance Downhill, 10 Under the Ben and the Big Ben Nevis Triathlon, the Tour de Ben Nevis is about circumnavigating Ben Nevis starting from Fort William the Outdoor Capital of the UK.
'It is a 61km journey of discovery about our wonderful environment, about yourself and for some we have no doubt, about your bike.
It is an opportunity to ride through some of the most rugged and isolated areas that the Highlands have to offer. The course is undulating and varied with river and stream crossings, climbs and long descents.
This is one of the country's longest point to point events; this course has been described as MTB Endurance and a Mountain Marathon race all rolled into one. It is tough but it is achievable.
However we stress, this is more of an event than a race. Those that are super fit and want to race hard will not be disappointed and the special timed sections will spice it up a bit and really bring out the competitors from within. Those who see this as a major personal challenge will be able to pace themselves and enjoy the history, adventure, and wilderness of this remote area.
The course will not be littered with signage and support people, it will be left as untouched as possible to allow you to enjoy this environment in its natural state. With this comes some personal responsibility, which is a big part of the event ethos. We are taking the bubble-wrapping away and letting you take on this event knowing that you will need motivation and tenacity to get to the finish line.
There will be no official bike checks, no cotton wool, just you taking on this challenge on your own terms.'
