Come join CC Ecosse as we pedal to the Edinburgh Meadows and on to Holyrood to show support for cyclist infrastructure development in Scotland.
This will be, as all CC Ecosse rides, a gently paced, all inclusive ride, welcoming anyone and everyone with a bike and a desire to join in. In difference to most rides, though, we have a target to arrive at. The POP organizers have not yet announced a start time for the depart from the Meadows - if this is radically different from what I expect (3 pm) the start time listed below may need to change.
The Ride - From Glasgow to Edinburgh (Meadows)
Meeting place - Main entrance to Alexandra Park, Alexandra Parade, Glasgow (map)
Route - http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2099445 Distance approximately 75 km / 46 miles. The route is a slight variation on the Pedal for Scotland route, mostly on quiet roads, but using the Roseburn cyclepath on the final approach to Edinburgh.
Terrain - As few hills as can be realistically obtained given the required start and end point
Start Time - 9 am
Timetable - It is the plan/hope that fellow cyclists from across the central belt can be collected along the route, to form a proper CC Ecosse peloton as we get to the capital. Assuming a rolling average of 15 km/h we will arrive at some selected locations thusly: Coatbridge Sunnyside railway stn 12km/9:50, Bowhouse Roundabout 39km/11:35, Linlithgow railway stn 46km/12:05, Kirkliston 59km/12:55, Cramond Brig 65km/13:20, Edinburgh Meadows 75km/14:00
The ride is inteded to live up to the 3 main rules of CC Ecosse rides:
NO ONE gets left behind
ANY BIKE will do
There WILL BE CAKE
