Tesco Bank Partners Scottish Road Cycling Event

Tesco Bank has been announced as the main new partner of the Tour O The Borders, a 75 mile road cycling sportive event. 

Tesco Bank Tour O The Borders will set off from Peebles on August 9 2015, with over 2000 riders enjoying some of Scotland’s best road riding with the route closed to all cars and other traffic.

Tour O The Borders began in 2012 when just 300 riders took part, but has  grown into one of the biggest road cycling events on the Scottish calendar, with numbers heading towards ten times the original figure in just four years. 

Adele Mills, Senior Community Investment Manager at Tesco Bank said:“We recognise the importance of supporting the communities in which we serve. That is why we are proud to partner the Tesco Bank Tour O the Borders, helping them to achieve their aim of becoming the best sportive in Scotland. Health and wellbeing is important to all of us and this event encourages riders of all abilities to lead happier, healthier lives by getting out on their bike and seeing some beautiful parts of the Scottish Borders.”

The event is also supported by Scottish Borders Council, Endura and Edinburgh Bicycle Co-operative. Tesco Bank Tour O The Borders backs Macmillan Cancer Support.
