Event Overview

For 2022, Dunfermline Cycling Club is delighted to welcome back our annual cycle sportive on Saturday the 28th of May, the Tour of the Kingdom.

Taking place on some of the finest roads and views in Fife, it is an event not to be missed!

We return to the beautiful Pittencrieff Park (known locally as The Glen) for the start-line at our home and HQ located at The Cycle Hub.

  • Event Photography - Our event will be covered by a photographer to capture your day.

About the Event

Info for Riders

We have three superb routes available taking in some of the best scenery and roads in Fife. With distances to suit all abilities, select either the 103 mile, 70 mile or 33 mile route.

Click on the links below to show the route maps.

 

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29323223  - Black Route. The most challenging of our rides at 103 miles, taking in some fantastic climbs. This follows the same route as Red before splitting at Falkland heading North towards Newburgh, returning South then re-joining the Red Route at Strathmiglo.

 

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29325989  - Red Route. Whilst shorter than the Black, this route still enjoys the same beautiful scenery whilst at a more comfortable distance for many. It still represents a challenge though for those wishing to push themselves! 

 

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29012221  - Green Route. Completely redesigned last year, the new route aims to enjoy the same support and scenery as the first 17 miles of the Red/Black, with stunning countryside and views as you ride over Dunearn Hill to Kirkcaldy, before turning back along the undulating Inverteil Road/B9157. This route should be within the reach of less experienced/able cyclists or for those where time may be limited on the day.
