The Glory of the Dinaedo, Redo, Undo and Grdo

Routes to suit all abilities

Starting and finishing in Stonehaven’s Baird Park, home of the Midsummer Beer Happening, four different routes accommodate all abilities of rider whilst providing all a rewarding challenge.
The MSBH Sportive has become a huge social day out for many. We stopped timing number of years ago, you are all on Strava anyway, so why not join our strava club and see how you went.

We have six refreshment pit stops with cakes, energy bars, water and even a coffee on the way. We will of course have en-route support from two broom wagons and a few key marshals as well as our dedicated event HQ volunteers, remember to wave and thank all on the way.

Starting in waves from 8am with a complimentary buff, goodie bag, coffee and entry to beer festival, a beer… and sore legs! Can’t be bad for only £40 – just please be safe; please respect other road users, road surfaces, cycling conditions and your fellow cyclists, make friends wherever you go and support our sponsors.

Its only a hill, get over it !

Rider Information

The focus of this event is on enjoyment - and a little self-reliance, but here is some helpful information.

PLEASE COME AND REGISTER IF AT ALL POSSIBLE BEFORE THE MORNING OF THE EVENT. We are only a few and we don’t want any hold ups. Registration is open from 5.00pm - 8.30pm on Thursday and Friday.

NO CHIP TIMING, go on, ride your bike for fun, enjoy the countryside and friends; a good old fashioned day out. We want to encourage participation, fun and of course, a little beer drinking. If you are at all competitive (I know who you are) we have set up a STRAVA CLUB JUST FOR THE HAPPENING SPORTIVE. Want to see how you compared on the Cairn o’ Mount to your fellow riders?
