Pedal for Scotland 2009

What bothers me about getting wet is the bus ride back to Glasgow getting cold

Anyhow another silly question, do I need to take a lock for my bike for the food stops, bearing in mind I am going to be on my own, or do people tend to just park up and trust others?

I wouldn't bother about a lock. There are so many people around and so many bikes, you should be fine. You can keep your bike close anyway.

Just park your bike next to someone's super-bling-carbonfibre-most-desireable-ever and yours will be OK

Then take your pick when you leave

This is the place where we met last year. Huge great monument thingy. There is a smaller one so don't get confused!

So as goo has suggested, we should aim to meet here at 8:30am. We will wait for stragglers until 8:45am and then make our way to the start with the aim of starting at 9am.

Does that sound like a plan?

I think* the smaller one is away now, just a bare patch in the ground.




*This is quite worrying because I cycled past the big one about 2 hours ago

In fact I can just about make you out in the picture....

Just a thought

Not for the food stops, maybe for the pub afterwards, but even then it is not really necessary as we can always use magnatom bike as a decoy...

It was easy to find last year as it was surrounded by portoloos...

 

[magnatom]

I've had a quick search of photos from last years even. Here is one where you can see we are all working hard!

Notice that we discovered a new use for bikes...bun holders!

Is that the CC jersey that is being worn ?

Will look out for you guys at the monument.

do I need to take a lock for my bike for the food stops

I never have. There are bikes everywhere, piles of them. I suppose it's not impossible that some deadbeat might take one but I'm not lugging a lock around just in case.

Thanks for all the replies about the lock, that is what I had assumed and given my bike did not exactly come out of the "high" price range to say the least I doubt anyone would be interested in taking it
