As the event organiser put it:
The&nbsp; Robert Millar Sportive is held in an area of outstanding natural beauty and&nbsp; will undoubtedly provide riders with an opportunity to test themselves over many of the roads which Robert trained on during his formative years in the Glasgow area. &nbsp;We have selected a route which will offer a challenging test even to the best prepared riders and takes in many of the roads Robert&nbsp; trained on when he was a member of The Glasgow Wheelers including some of the most challenging climbs in central Scotland, including theDukes Pass, Tak Ma Doon, Top of the World and The Crow Road. This is a beautiful route starting and finishing in the picturesque village of Fintry, climbing over the Kilsyth Hills before travelling through Stirlingshire then negotiating the private road around Loch Katrine for the 98 mile event. We think this is destined to become one of the best sportives in the UK and will be a test for the best. This is fitting in that it celebrates a legend that is Robert Millar whose feats as a cyclist inspired many of the cyclists now competing at international, world and professional level.&nbsp;
