THE ROUTE
https://rwgps-embeds.com/routes/20186782
The ride’s huge popularity is due to a great route* that takes in Scotland’s two largest cities via stunning countryside. It’s the perfect challenge for both regular riders 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 or so serving free refreshments,topped off with entertainment and stalls at the finish, making for the perfect active day out for groups of friends, family or work mates. Transport can also be booked to get you and your bike to the start at Glasgow Green, or home from the finish line in Edinburgh.
**PLEASE NOTE: Final route is subject to change.**
