    Who knows that the prizes will be. There are some which go well with certain things (tyres with a skid comp) but most of them are pretty random. I thought a massive cog would be good for hill climb prize and a tiny cog would be good for sprints prize but I think we just got a normal sized cog.

    It's all tarmac (or packed hardcore) up until bowling, if not Dumbarton. We could at least do the first section to Bowling for a nice easy social ride then play it by ear?

    I've plotted the route for the alleycat here: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Clockwork-Orange-Alleycat-Route-public

    This is the kind of default route following the main roads and staying road legal (one way system etc), on the night you can take any route you like. But this could make a good starting point for your plans and will show you a rough distance and elevation profile.
