Organised by the Freemasons of Edinburgh to raise much-needed funds for our nominated charity Motor Neurone Disease Scotland, you don’t need to be a mason to participate!
You don’t need to be a veteran cyclist either – it's a little under 40 miles and there are three set-off times for varying abilities. It’s a great starter if you’ve never taken part in a charity cycle run before, and if you have, we've been told by previous entrants that it's very well-organised. Anyone between 12 and 17yrs must bring a participating adult. You can use any bike you like, but you’ll be much fresher at the end if you use (or borrow) a road bike.
We take a circular route from South Queensferry on main roads which are quiet on Sundays, cycling along the southern edge of the Firth of Forth, through the picturesque fishing village of Grangemouth and then over the Kincardine Bridge, taking advantage of a comfort break at our feed station there before coming back along the Fife Coastal Route, and returning via the Forth Road Bridge to our finish ceremony.
Closer to the run itself you’ll be able to download a .GPX or .TCX file of the route, but there will be direction markers where needed on the road for those who don’t have bike computers, and we also have motorbike road marshals and support vehicles for your peace of mind.
Unlike some “charity” events, there is no entry fee – all we ask is that you raise as much as you can for MND Scotland. We don’t get involved in the money side of things, your contributions go direct to the charity via MyDonate, which enables them to add a whopping 25% to your total!
Entries are now open and close 23/07/17 - please raise as much as you can for an excellent cause.
Very cruel . . . but also very funny!
Good luck disabled cyclists. Some use normal looking bikes but struggle to walk and potentially can't drive either. North Lincolnshire Council...
Not sure about keeping motorbikes out? The ones that can actually block motorbikes are almost certainly now illegal under accessibility regs....
Just saw this which is sort of relevent...
In Lancashire, even the MOT testing garages(link is external) can't afford MOTs! Saw it again this morning- still no MOT since 9th February
The simple truth is that what's good for you may not be good for me. I've always found Lusso's shorts to be terrific but the most comfortable by...
(for 2023 versions of value)...Exactly! When I first read the review last night I thought "that's good value", then gave myself a good slap.
He adds nothing to the debate....
Murica, f*** yeah! Why isn't this at all surprising? I guess the surprise is they didn't shoot him.
Sounds like the council's drivers / maintenance contractors - and their street designers - aren't fit for purpose......
