I am the chap from Pitscottie, the usual support to LEPRA riders will be available this year. All free! and I am no a Fifer!

The registration form is still for the 2010 ride, is there meant to be a form for 2011 yet??

Dear Paul – well spotted! The form for 2011 has not been uploaded yet, thanks for the prod!

Is it Saturday 18th or Sunday 19th? Can somebody please confirm?

Admin: Hi Paul. The ride is definitely on Saturday the 18th June. If you want to stay overnight on Saturday at the finish venue there will be transport available to come back on the Sunday morning.

I did this way back in 1985.grand time was had with some of my CTC chums. Just thinking of getting back on the bike..might be an option this year…I did the run then back again to Falkland hostel.

I did this ride myself a couple of times in early 80’s. Might be nice to stretch legs again.

Does this year’s ride have a minimum ammount that needs to be raised for the charity?

Hi @Dicky Dee,

Thanks for contacting us about the Edinburgh to St Andrews Ride. There is no minimum amount but the bulk of the money we raise is through sponsorship so please feel free to collect as much as you can!

Enjoyed doing this in its early days. Here’s a video of the start of last year’s ride: http://www.youtube.com/edinburghguide#p/u/1/I73Wbh8GQBI

Just wondering what time the bus back leaves on the Saturday (and what time on Sunday).
Thank you!

Just got my info pack and it says that the return bus drops you off somewhere in Murrayfield. Why not back at the start? Thats seems a bit strange!

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your message. There is a reason behind this, it is because this is as close as the police will allow us to take the 6 double decker buses and several large trucks with the bikes in to the centre of Edinburgh. What happens is that everyone gets dropped off, lays claim to their bikes once more and those who have left their cars etc at the start generally cycle back the short distance.

Hope this helps, and that you have a great day!

Well worth supporting. I am always pleased that it all happens without the fuss attached to running events etc, although Lothians & Borders Police could do more to control traffic lights near the start. But we love them anyway. Good luck tomorrow and let’s hope the rain holds off!

Many thanks to Tam and helpers at Pitscottie. A welcome sight near the end of a long, wet and windy ride! A brilliant effort!
