Upcoming Events

• freshnlo Pedal for Scotland 2010

  Sunday, 12 September 2010

  

  freshnlo Pedal for Scotland is now open for registration for 2010 - and this time there’s three options to choose from. Scotland’s biggest bike ride just got even bigger!
  
  Challenge Ride
  The ride is typically around 50 miles long. Though that might seem like a huge distance, by riding at a gentle pace and making use of the rest stops, it is not as difficult as it sounds! Unlike running, cycling lets you chat away, enjoy the scenery sweeping past and barely be out of breath. There are no limits - all it takes is a bit of enthusiasm and some preparation and you will enjoy a fantastic and rewarding experience. Last year we had 7000 participants do this ride!
  
  Sportive Ride
  At 100 miles, this ride is better suited to keen regular road cyclists. If you have ridden the Challenge Ride in previous years, and finished in less than 3 hours, then this could be a natural progression.
  
  Family Ride
  This 3 mile circuit on off-road paths through the park at Glasgow Green is suitable for anyone. This Ride is aimed at families and beginners and will have entertainment and games on the day including live music by The Singing Kettle, face painting, and outdoor activities such as a cycle skills course.
  
  To find out more about each ride and to register please visit the Pedal for Scotland website and don't forget to tick the box saying that you wish to fundraise for Maggie's!
