‘Easier’ cycling events, Scotland?… – Page 2 – Bike Forum

Nobeerinthefridge · 2020-01-09T21:16:11Z

Mrs Nobeer fancies a wee cycling event to look forward to, she's fit (fnar) as she runs 20 odd miles a week and does some decent, albeit flat, two wheeled miles every week too. The likes of pedal on parliament, pedal for scotland looked ideal, but are no more, Rob Roy challenge ditto, which is a shame as the 14 mile run and 35 mile cycle option looked a winner. Sportives are out the window, I think, don't want her put off by thinking her hybrid is out if place with the roadies. Any recommendations?.

It was all going so well till you mentioned bag pipers.

They add to it honest!
@gauss1777 – the local Scouts put on x5 buses from Davidson Mains (Tesco) and bike carriage down to Carlisle, so that’s ~250 folk. We’ll announce details on that soon 👍

Alternatively train from Glasgow? Bit of a faff and possibly full as well
