Tour O The Borders

Scotland's most beautiful closed-road cycling sportive is back for its tenth edition – and it's going to be a special one. For the first time a new long route (120km) will encompass parts of eastern Dumfries & Galloway as well as the Borders, taking in some of the South of Scotland's most iconic landscapes, including the Devil's Beeftub, Grey Mare's Tail and St Mary's Loch. This event is expected to draw in riders from across the UK and beyond.

The 88km Challenge route remains unchanged from previous years, with the mighty Wall of Tall and Megget the centrepiece to this classic loop. Both routes start and finish in the historic town of Peebles – and in true Touro tradition, there'll be plenty of pies, cake and positive vibes to keep the energy levels high. Nearby camping available.
