Pedal for Scotland 2008
Pedal for Scotland is one of the country's biggest and best days out. And you're invited. So jump on your bike and join thousands of others riding across the country from Glasgow to Edinburgh.
Last year participants ranged from aged four to 80, so the whole family can join in. You don't need to be super-fit or have a fancy bike to take part, and there are plenty of rest stops serving up delicious food and refreshments on the way.
Getting to and from the event is easy, with transport available for you and your bike. And there'll be lots of support along the route, if you (or you cycle!) need a helping hand.
So why not challenge yourself, your friends and colleagues to Pedal for Scotland?
It's a great way to see Scotland's stunning countryside and you'll burn thousands of calories to boot. And whether you're up for a leisurely ride or a personal best, you'll feel brilliant about yourself when you cross that finish line.
Pedal for Scotland 2008 - Registration open
The biggest and best bike ride in Scotland celebrates its tenth birthday this year, as Pedal for Scotland returns on 14th September.
The ride attracted an amazing 4000 participants last year, meaning its mass of riders has increased tenfold from the 400 riders who took part in the very first pedal for Scotland just nine years earlier. The ride is now an established institution on the summer calendar of mass participation activities and looks set to grow from strength to strength this year with a flood of entries in already.
For anyone not familiar with the ride, pedal for Scotland runs from Glasgow to Edinburgh, taking a 50 mile route across the country, along quiet B roads and cycle paths. Along the way it takes in country parks, rural villages, stately homes, open countryside, and is book-ended by Scotland's two largest cities. It's ideal for a day out with the family, a workplace challenge, a fundraiser, or as the end goal of a keep fit regime.
Riders are well looked after throughout the ride, with refreshment stops placed every ten or so miles along the route providing water and snacks, plus the traditional free pasta meal. Travel arrangements are also made easy with our transport service, which takes you and your bike either to the start or home from the finish line.
Bringing friends along not only makes the ride more fun, but it can save you money too - register as a team of 4 and the 4th riders goes free. You can registrer for Pedal for Scotland now at www.pedalforscotland.org
