Ride magazine is good at this, and as long as their doing this and repeating the same routes I'll thank them, Personally my routes this year will be in the opposite direction of what the bike press class as good routes, and head off grid a little bit to get away from the hoards who are programmed to tick boxes and get the medal because someone put the route/challenge in a magazine, Which brings me to the "NC500" the most irresponsible act ever to be concieved by the capitalist fuckpigs of the "North highland initiative" who have totally ruined a way of life for the natives who live along the route, and the environment, and the roads, they wont be happy until there's a Macdonalds at Durness and Tongue!
Some of us on here ventured up there in 2013/14 and of freedom of movement was fantastic, not bad to get digs, and on the whole very enjoyable, I've been assured it's nothing like that now, with everybody and their Auntie wanting to do the "NC500"
anyroad before I go and pop another blood pressure pill here's the Klunts responsible.
