Info for Riders

The Mid Argyll Tri & Cycle Club, the event organiser, is an all inclusive club for athletes and sporting enthusiasts of all ages and abilities. We wish to promote fun, fellowship and friendship with a dash of competition.The Kilberry Loop is a favourite route of the members.

The start, which is at 8.30am with registration opening at 7.30am, is from The Gather, Tarbert, heading through the village and north on the A83 before turning left at the junction with the B8024 on to a single track road. This is where the fun starts with a steady climb for about 2kms before the descent into Achahoish and the beginning of wonderful scenery as the loop continues along the shores of Loch Caolisport. The breathtaking views over to Jura, Islay and Gigha demand a quick stop for a photograph. There will be a feed station at approxinmately the half way mark. The route continues through Kilberry, heading east, with some short sharp climbs and sweeping descents, before following the coast of West Loch Tarbert north up passed the Tarbert Golf Club, reaching the A83, turning left, back to Tarbert and the finish.
