On Sunday 31st of July The Graeme Obree Classic Sportive will set off from Auchincruive College with the opportunity to experience some of the best, most cycling friendly roads in Scotland. There will be three ride options.

10 Mile Family Ride (Free to enter)

The leisurely 10 mile family run routed mostly on cycling track/paths travelling into Ayr centre, down onto the seafront and back. A brilliant opportunity to bring out the kids and let them experience an organised cycle event in safe surroundings.

45 Mile Intermediate Ride (Entry fee £35.00)

Starting at Auchincruive the route heads south then south east before routing back to Auchincruive. To include a first - a women's only cycling group led by multiple world champion and World Record Holder Yvonne McGregor.

65 Mile Endurance Ride (Entry fee £35.00)

Starting at Auchincruive this route will challenge the strongest riders with 66 miles of energy sapping roads heading south and south east, crossing the famous Nick o the Balloch climb before switching back up via Straiton and Dalmellington to return to Auchincruive for the finish.

The Flying Scotsman himself, Graeme Obree will lead this ride across many of the roads he trained on as a youngster.

The course has 3,750 feet of climbing and some very technical descents and traverses surrounded by some magnificent scenery in the moorland high above Ayrshire.
