Had a few close ones last year but once you get out of Glasgow centre it gets easier

There is defo a lot of 'beginners' which is good but some are unable to even keep in a straight line so it makes for very careful cycling at the start

There usually are a few recumbent on the PfS, actually I'd never seen one before riding my first PfS

Been having a wee look on the Scotrail website about the possibility of getting the train home after this. (Link)
There is no specific restrictions on taking a bike on the train from Glasgow to Edinburgh and there is no need to reserve a space.
But I think I'll give them a call and find out any restrictions on that day.

If it's good enough for the Tour de France, it'll do me...

I did it for the first time this year on my Specialized Sirrus Sport - was a great day weather wise and a great ride. Getting back wasn't the problem - the folks I was with had hired a minibus to come back to Glasgow but I got the train back (I was in a different part of Glasgow from the others) - train from Haymarket - not too much of a problem to be honest.

A friend of mine did it for the first time this year. He was knocked into by someone else causing broken ribs and damaging his bike beyond use. The guy that hit him didnt even stop to check he was ok.
That, unfortunately seems to happen a lot at this event.
