Did the PoS a few times, now moved on to the Edinburgh to St Andrew's, which I think is a nice ride and atmosphere. Its soon so you need to get on your bike if you need to train for it.....

Cheers Col, I think I know where it is. I take it it's the same to get back there fromthe finish at Murrayfield?All i know is its near leith
I'm also going to sign up for this either the middle or big ride if doing the middle I will likely cycle back to glasgow. If doing the 110 will most likely park the car up in Edinburgh the nite before or a range to be picked up when I'm finished. Saying this I am a sucker for beer decisions decisions

I'm thinking about doing the 47 mile ride too.
But I don't fancy the bus ride back. I'll maybe have to talk nice to the bosslady...

Take the train with the bike, you might not get on the first train of choice, but there are quite a few.I'm thinking about doing the 47 mile ride too.

It is a short ride from Murryfield to the entrance to the canal that takes you to town and Waverly.
Find it on Google map.

There is only one steep (for me anyway) but short hill.
Search for last year's gpx uploads online, it is the same route every year afaik.

I actually forgot all about the train. The Sunday service runs from Haymarket to the Shire.
And it means I don't have to worry about driving...

Sorry I'm talking rubbish, I forgot the ride now finishes at Murrayfield so just park near that and get the bus to Glasgow

From memory; do Scotrail not have a complete ban on taking cycles on trains between Glasgow and Edinburgh on PFS day?
I seem to remember that being the case on some previous years. Presumably the sheer numbers of bikes would cause chaos if they were allowed.

Abellio have been promoting their cycle friendliness since winning the Scotrail franchise earlier this year, this could be a test!

I feel there is more chance of being knocked off my bike in this event than in any commute to work.

I'll just be doing the 47 this year.
In the last 5 miles or so the path is very narrow and people get very upset if you try to overtake them....
I'll be booking as early a space as possible and will probably take my van through
