Tour Scotland Video Cycle Race Highland Games Newburgh Fife

Tour Scotland video of a cycle race at the Highland Games at Robbie's Park, Scotland Terrace, Newburgh, on ancestry visit to Fife, Scotland. One of the lesser known cycling disciplines is grass track racing which happens regularly throughout the summer at various Highland Games events around Scotland. The first Highland Games of the year that features grass track racing is Blackford, but Tayside and Fife have an abundance of games throughout the summer which include bike races. Races are often run on a 400 metre lap and several different races take place, usually culminating in a Deil tak the hindmost” showdown. This a frantic multi lap sprint where the last rider across the line each lap is withdrawn from the race until the final three fight it out for the top places.
