Bealach-na-Ba or Bealach nam Bo (Pass of the Cattle) is the
UK’s biggest road climb at 2053ft (626m) from sea level in just 6mls
(10k). It is set in a fabulous unspoilt landscape with
outstanding views of the sea and the hills. The Applecross
Peninsula is renowned as a gem in Scotland’s crown of natural wonders.
The idea of a sportive ride belongs to local cycling legend Clifford Davidson. He asked us at the then Strathpuffer Ltd to organise one. We are naturally grateful to Clifford for his initial idea and advice. The event was first run in the summer of 2006 and it was immediately obvious that had captured the imagination of cyclists of all standards. The demand for places in the event was overwhelming. However, parking capacity is severely limited in the small villages used as a base, so we decided to have two events. The Bealach Mor retains the original route of 90 miles and the Bealach Beag introduced a shorter distance of 43 miles. |
