With big fields & fast close up racing, one of the UK’s premier youth events takes place in Perth from Sunday, the Scottish Power Youth Tour of Scotland. It comprises four stages, all held in & around Perth from Sunday to Tuesday. This involves the cream of youth road talent from across the UK, if you want to say you saw the future stars racing before they were famous, this is your chance, plus Perth is reasonably accessable from plenty of places. The Sunday circuit races in Perth city centre would seem like the ideal option for any budding spectators or club rides.
The Scottish cycling community are making a big effort with this event, with help coming especially from many of the youth clubs that have been nurtured by hard working volunteers for the past few years. There’s plenty of great work going on all over the country, they deserve your support.
