Billing itself as the "UK's first ever timed mass participation cycling event on closed roads", the Etape Caledonia cyclo-sportif event will take place on June 24, 2007. The 133km (83 mile) course should be a challenge for the expected 2,500 participants. The route will take in the three lochs of Tummel, Rannoch and Tay, with some tough climbs (2,000m in all) in highland Perthshire. Organisers predict that the event will appeal to road racers and cycling enthusiasts, as well as triathletes and duathletes.

"I am very excited that our search for a venue to establish a European-style closed roads cycle challenge has come to fruition with the launch of the Etape Caledonia," said Etape Caledonia Director, Kevin Stewart. "By providing UK cyclists with this demanding course under the umbrella of a road closure, we hope to set a new benchmark for competitive cycling in the UK."

The full distance event will cost £49 to enter, with a shorter 28 mile course costing £25 being proposed. More information: www.EtapeCaledonia.co.uk
