Cycling from Glasgow to Edinburgh, you and your fellow riders will enjoy the route with some special added benefits - including a queue jump at the start of the race, priority lunch queuing for corporate riders to fuel up with snacks and catch up with their team at stops throughout the ride and hospitality and access to showers and changing at Murrayfield Stadium on completion of the ride.

The Route
The ride’s huge popularity is due to 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, plus a free lunch at the beautiful Linlithgow Palace, topped off with entertainment and activities in Edinburgh, 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 at Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh.

BIG BELTER - 110 miles
The Pedal for Scotland Big Belter is a ride of 110 miles from Glasgow to Edinburgh. The ride uses the same start and finish points as the Classic Challenge ride, but takes a completely separate route, meaning you get the buzz of Scotland’s biggest bike event on a quieter route designed for road cyclists. The transport service will serve Big Belter riders too, meaning there is an easy and hassle free way to get you and your bike to the start in Glasgow Green, or back home from Edinburgh at the finish.
STARTING POINT

ENTRY
- Ride - £66 ride entry, £19 transport
THE ROUTE

The Big Belter is a much more challenging ride for keen road cyclists.
