What has happened to this?
I know the final "PFS Classic" 50/100 mile rides from Glasgow to Edinburgh was held in 2019 (?), and that the proposal was that they were then going to hold more regional, but smaller rides throughout Scotland. Then came Covid lockdowns so there were no events in 2020. Then in 2021 there were a few, including such crowd pullers as a 7 mile trek round Ayr. Really.
The website has gone very quiet with regards to any cycling events at all for this year. Is it just being wound down quietly until they feel they can disappear?
It always seemed a strange decision to do away with the 50/100 mile rides from Glasgow to Edinburgh. I did it (50 mile ride) a few times, and although I wouldn't want to do it again, it did seem very popular with casual cyclists on the 50 miler, and the more enthusiastic on the 100 miler.
