Route

Elgin โ†’ Dornoch

David is taking on an epic 90-mile cycling challenge on Friday 14th August 2026, riding from Elgin to Dornoch through some of the most scenic parts of the Scottish Highlands.

The Route

Elgin โ†’ Forres โ†’ Nairn โ†’ Inverness โ†’ Black Isle โ†’ Cromarty ferry โ†’ Tain โ†’ Dornoch

The Rules

Predict how long David will spend in the saddle. His total ride time is expected to be between 6 and 9 hours โ€” but there's a catch: only time actually cycling counts. Coffee stops and the Cromarty ferry crossing are excluded from the official time.

How to Win

The supporter whose prediction comes closest to David's official ride time wins the prize. Each prediction slot can only be chosen once, so pick your time strategically!
