Sea to Sky to Sea


Overview
Similar to Church to Perdition, this a self timed challenge, you can do it anytime that suits you. The idea is to time your ride from Blackness to the Knock and back – totalling just over 20 miles.

The Route
The route starts at Blackness Castle, runs up to, and turns, at the Knock (the top of the Cairnpapple climb), then retrace the route back to Blackness.
