For those who didn't take part last year, the Robert Millar event is again being organised by Velo Event Management Ltd and will as last year, be run from Fintry Sports Club, on Sunday 29th June, 2014.

We are also delighted that proceeds from the Robert Millar sportive will go to help the talent of tomorrow with funds being allocated to The Braveheart Fund. This will clearly help assist the development of Scotland's up and coming road and track cyclists.

The Robert Millar sportive celebrates the legacy of Britain's greatest ever grand Tour rider. Famed for his climbing prowess, Glasgow born Robert is still the only native English-speaking rider to win the coveted climbers’ jersey in the Tour de France.

He honed his skills training on the roads around Glasgow and the Robert Millar sportive celebrates the legacy of a man who was and still is an inspiration to countless cyclists all over the world.

The sportive route is designed to be in keeping with the king of the mountains, while also featuring some of the most beautiful scenery in the Trossachs. The circuit will take you over some of the most famous climbs in central Scotland including the Braes of Greenock, Dukes Pass, Top of the World, Crow Road and the Tak Ma Doon.

We do hope you will take part in this year’s sportive which should again prove to be a fantastic and memorable day's cycling – for full details see the official website.
