Orbea LoveTouro | 100K

Welcome to Orbea LoveTouro powered by Cycle Law Scotland – an open road Touro-based event hosted as part of the award-winning TweedLove Bike Festival – in the same place as Touro has been for years, but with a huge bike festival as part of the fun… The TweedLove Festival (est 2010) celebrates riding bikes in the Tweed Valley, for every kind of rider – and is produced by the same team that delivers Tour O The Borders. So for 2024 we’re very pleased to bring you Orbea LoveTouro supported by Cycle Law Scotland. Tour O The Borders will return as a closed-road sportive in September 2025. The aim is to keep the spirit of Touro alive with this one-off special edition open road sportive, with smiles for miles on idyllic quiet roads with the friendliest bunch of riders you’ll ever meet. There should be plenty of familiarity for Touro veterans, but with different course lengths it’s a great chance for first time sportive riders too. LoveTouro is open for anyone 14 years of age or older. Children age 14 or 15 MUST ride with a responsible adult for the duration of the event and have parental consent. Anyone age 16 or older is considered an adult. Please note this is not a closed road circuit. We’re very excited to announce this year’s route which will take riders out of a buzzing festival in Peebles town centre and into some challenging but very rewarding hills. The full course will be 100km and the short course will be a bit over 70km. The full route also contains the Berry Bush and Witchieknowe climbs. Two of the area’s classics previously included on Tour O The Borders routes.
