bUMp, this weekend, seems a palaver, so PM me if you want my ticket
It’s time to get planning. The Urban Peaks Challenge is this weekend and we can now reveal the checkpoints to you.
In Edinburgh, we’re getting positively medieval as we route you past 2 castles and Arthur’s Seat. We’ve really split out across the map to test your routing skills, bounded only by the Firth of Forth. If you’re riding on Saturday we recommend you stop by RCC Partner Cafe Gamma for a quick pick me up to keep you on form. They’re shut on Sunday, so are not an official checkpoint.
