Scotland''s most beautiful closed-road sportive is back for 2023 – and it's going to be even more beautiful than ever.
To celebrate our tenth edition of Tour O The Borders, we have a stunning new long route for cyclists (120km) that takes in the Devil’s Beeftub, Moffat Dale, Grey Mare’s Tail and some of the best road cycling in the south of Scotland. The 88km Challenge route remains unchanged – with the classic Wall of Talla and Megget road as the centrepiece.
In true Touro style, expect plenty of award-winning pies, home-made cakes and a buzzing event village in the heart of historic Peebles. Nearby camping is available.

Her business depended on the same 20 people to fund her cafe daily? Surprised it has lasted as long as it has.
So that's ONE non-gammony, non-Tory, non-driver in South Glos. Remind me - what's the population of South Glos?
What a joke of a system. A phone call (how long was the phone queue?) then waiting in at home for the police to visit which might be at any time....
