Pedal for Scotland

When: 8th September 2019
Location: Glasgow Green

Scotland’s biggest bike ride, Pedal for Scotland, is back for it’s 20th year and will take place on Sunday the 8th of September.

Scotland’s biggest mass participation bike ride is back, and will take place on Sunday the 8th of September at 7.30am.

The 45 mile classic Pedal for Scotland ride, the challenge ride, is now in its 20th year! Pedal for Scotland attracted more than 7,500 cyclists last year, cycling the 47 miles from Glasgow Green to Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium.

The Route

The reason for the ride’s huge popularity is the combination of a great route that uses a mixture of closed roads, quiet back roads and cycle paths and the fact that it takes in Scotland’s two largest cities via stunning countryside. It’s the perfect challenge for both regular cyclists and those who haven’t cycled in a while – a few weeks training is enough to get in shape.

There are rest stops around every ten miles serving free refreshments. Transport can also be booked to get you and your bike to the start at Glasgow Green, or home from Edinburgh.

Take Part

Anyone can take part – there are no age limits.  This may sound like a long way, but there are a number of rest stops along the route. And you don’t even need to go fast!  For more information visit the Pedal for Scotland website.

Pedal for Scotland is a fun way to get fit and healthy, and raise money for a worthwhile cause at the same time.

And it’s brilliant fun!
