57.5 Degrees of Pain Jul 2023 12:56pm, 31 Jul 2023 13,471 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain That's quite similar to the old course (until 2013) but with more around the Lossie and a climb up Brumley Brae rather than Duffus Road. I shall pencil it in to the diary! Can you say who's organising? fetcheveryone.com/t-9289603

Old Croc Jul 2023 1:47pm, 31 Jul 2023 34,598 posts	0 Old Croc Covers some of that route - from Burghead to Lossie - but goes straight on when get to RAF Lossiemouth turning and into and through Loss, then towards the Llanbryde road - cuts back onto cycle path back into Elgin. A generally nice course - first two miles a bit cheeky. So start mega slow - your first 2 miles should be slowest of whole run. Only other climb is the Burghead one that was in the Gate to Gate.

That wasn’t great.
