The Isle of Bute Festival of Cycling or Rothesay Weekend as it’s also known, has for many decades signalled the end of the Scottish road season. This year’s weekend takes place on 15 and 16 September and offers equal prizes for both men and women.
All of the races are organised under the TLI so you don’t need a British Cycling or UCI racing licence to take part. You can join the TLI beforehand or simply buy a day licence when you get there. This will cover you for the whole weekend.
