SamsRideNorth 2025
SamsRideNorth 2025 is a Cycle Sportive to raise funds for Samaritans Aberdeen Branch.
Talking with Samaritans can be life-changing, and the team of local Aberdeen Samaritans volunteers work round the clock to try to ensure that no plea for help goes unanswered. As well as a telephone and email service, Aberdeen Samaritans have an Outreach Team and a Prison Team to make a real difference in the community.
This Sportive will take cyclists through the most incredibly scenic parts of Aberdeenshire and Moray, including the Suie, Cabrach and the Lecht.
With three routes to choose from, consisting of 26, 51, and 102 miles, a variety of cycling levels can take part. The only restriction is that all entrants will have to be over 18 years of age on the date of the event. The 26 mile route is suitable for everyone who cycles on a reasonably regular basis. It follows the Don and has stunning viewpoints over to the Tap O’ Noth as you rise up the Suie. The 51 mile route takes you up into the wild country of the Buck before passing the Tap O’Noth and the 102 mile route is about as challenging as it gets with over 2000m of ascent over the mountains in the magnificent Cairngorms National Park. Cyclists will be fully supported with timing, mechanical aid, refreshment stations, marshals, first-aid, finishers medal, Samaritans buff, plenty of cakes, a hot lunch and plenty of friendly faces.
