Event Overview

Welcome to the Girvan 2024 Sportive.

You are going to embark on a cycling challenge like no other that takes place on the roads of Scotland

The Girvan 3 Day was a monument of the British Road Racing scene in the 70's - 90's 

The race then became the iconic day race known as the Davie Bell Memorial RR.

The history of the Girvan 3 Day is legendary and its constant undulating roads made it both
explosive and challenging for some of the greatest riders the UK produced in the.
Iconic figures like Sean Kelly, Chris Boardman. Malcolm Elliott and Mark Cavendish pedalled,
panted and etched their names into the history of the race. Cavendish even took his first
senior road victory as an 18-year-old!

 

You will ride on the same roads as we condense the 3 days into one ride that has over 9,000 feet of climbing! 

 

Are YOU Ready for the challenge
