6 September 2015 - Glasgow to Edinburgh
The Pedal for Scotland Sportive is a ride of 110 miles from Glasgow to Edinburgh. The ride uses the same start and finish points as the 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 Sportive 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.
