I have also attached for your interest 3 reports of the recent Youth Tour of Scotland.
NoSCA sponsored the NoSCA team riders. Our thanks and congratulations to all the riders, coaches and parents involved with special thanks to Wim Chalmet (East Sutherland Wheelers) for all his input coaching and encouraging young riders in the North. I have also received a set of photos of the tour from Graeme Deas (Cuillin Wheels) which I will email to you separately.

Entries are now being taken for the Cyclefest Sportive organised by Deeside Thistle CC: http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/events/details/77307/Cyclefest-Sportive
This is a new event with three distances at 100 miles, 100 kms and 25 miles. The routes are over some of Scotland ’s highest passes with spectacular scenery. Starting and finishing in Alford, in the foothills of the Cairngorms, the 100 mile route will take riders over the Suie, Cabrach, Lecht and Gairnsheil before returning via Queen’s View and Cushnie. The 100 km route also starts and finishes in Alford with riders experiencing the second half of the 100 mile route. Billed as one of the toughest sportives in the country it is worth doing if only for the breath-taking views. The 25 mile event misses out the highest roads but is equally scenic and also starts and finishes in Alford. The routes will be well signed with food stops along the way. This is a non-profit event with any surplus income being used for third world projects
Thanks

I am writing to you as the club secretary for Forres CC (and to every cycling club in Scotland) to ask for your support with an event I am involved in organising called “Pedal on Parliament” on Saturday 28th April. To put it simply, we’re trying to get as many cyclists as possible from across Scotland to join a mass ride to the Holyrood parliament to call for the Government to take action to improve the safety of, and support for, cycling in the country. This is something that matters to all of us who cycle and I’m sure we are all keen to see bettered.
We’re not a political organisation or an established pressure group, but a varied group of club, leisure and utility cyclists who have come together with a shared concern about the current safety of cycling on Scotland’s roads and levels of funding and support from the Government and local authorities (or lack thereof). It would be a huge help if you were able to help us promote this cause amongst cyclists in Scotland by letting your membership know about the event and our wider campaign. Two key things we are asking cyclists in Scotland to help us with are to;
You can find out about the event and campaign on our website http://pedalonparliament.org/ or please get in touch with us if you’ve any questions at hello@pedalonparliament.org
