Bealach Mor - September 5
Bealach Na Ba is one of the UK’s toughest and most iconic ascents, thanks to its Alpine-like hairpins, which rise up from the sea towards Applecross, .
Bealach Na Ba is a popular bucket-list climb for many UK cyclists and to climb the 10km ascent on its own is a big challenge, let alone as part of a 90-mile sportive.
A red and yellow jersey is awarded to the rider who completes the climb in the quickest time – but it’s not the only challenge on the route.
The rugged landscape of the Applecross Peninsular offers little respite, even after the route sweeps back down towards sea level – ramping up again on rarely disturbed country roads.
