@ride_the north rtn.ridethenorth www.ride-the-north.co.uk SPONSORS RTN 153: THE TOWNS, THE VILLAGES

& THE ROUTES RTN Routes are categorised by geography. Routes153 which begin in City, in North (broadly north of the River Don), in South Aberdeenshire and in Speyside. The entire network is created trying to link towns and villages that are roughly 15 miles apart and ACROSS while the average route will be approximately 15 miles, the routes range from 5 miles to 25 miles. Each route has been allocated a points value that reflects it’s length, total ascent and any particularly tough hills to be climbed. Individual routes vary from 2 points for short (or almost entirely downhill) to 10 points for the most challenging.
