Today the Challengers reach Scotland, with 180km and Hartside and Mennock Pass ahead of them…

They are over half way, now, although James seems keen to extend the tour by a day…

Velocity is covering the 100 Climbs Challenge, in which three incredible cyclists (and friends of V) are cycling Britain’s greatest climbs: a 5,300km, 29-day ride for charity. Follow the route, find out how to donate and/or ride with the 100 Climbs Challengers here.
