Organiser's Description
PCC Sportive - Le Tour de Tweed Valley
Peebles Cycling Club is pleased to announce the return of the PCC Sportive on Sunday 28 June 2026.
Next year, the Tour de France will pass through the Scottish Borders and this year’s PCC Sportive will give riders the chance to experience some of those great roads in advance. Our updated route takes in the iconic ride through the Granites, offering a spectacular and challenging day on some of the best cycling roads in the Scottish Borders.
Riders will be able to choose from two routes:
-
“Classic” 46 miles –
-
A classic loop through the Granites – the first hills of the 2027 Tour de France – Stage 1
-
Feed Station at Temple
-
“Challenge” 81 miles – a full day out across Tweeddale and the Borders
-
Feed Stations at Fountainhall and Temple
-
Both routes will feature well-stocked feed stations, clear route marking and the friendly atmosphere that PCC events are known for.
Whether you're local or travelling to ride in the Borders, we hope you’ll join us for a great day on the bike, with pizza and beer (inc. alcohol free) at the finish!
