"The Tayside Challenge is without comparison the friendliest and most scenic sportive that I have taken part in. Following roads that I know so well during my training for cycling round the world, including the epic climb of the Amulree Pass and the sweeping descent of the Sma Glen. But best of all is the people - the volunteers and the camaraderie of fellow riders, all of which makes the Tayside Challenge a must-experience ride."

The Tayside Challenge

The Tayside Challenge, with a choice of 81-mile or 39-mile routes, offers a memorable cycling challenge in some of Scotland's most stunning scenery.

"Thank you for a fantastic sportive last Saturday. A great course and fantastic weather but for me, it’s your friendly and helpful helpers that make this event special."

"Thanks for a great event - pass on our thanks to all the marshals, rotary folks and the massage team.  Great food, atmosphere, route and even the weather was ok!"

"This was my first ever sportive. I couldn’t have hoped for a friendlier or better marshalled introduction to this kind of riding. Thanks you so much to you and your lovely team of volunteers who made something that I was really worried about, much more enjoyable than I thought it would be!"
