Women’s Tour of Scotland
9th – 12th August
The first ever women’s tour of Scotland is set to be an outstanding world class permanent UCI calendar professional race fixture. The three day, three stage race will be contested by many of the top women’s teams in the world – plus the cream of Great Britain and Scotland’s female cycling talent.
The first stage from Dundee to Dunfermline went ahead despite the horrendous weather, in the hope that it might lessen as the stage progressed. Sadly this wasn't the case and the stage had to be cut short in the interest of safety. Fingers crossed day 2 from Glasgow to Perth will go ahead as planned.
Day 1 - Dundee – Dunfermline
Day 2 – Glasgow – Perth
Day 3 – Edinburgh – Edinburgh
