It's about time a procycling race properly visited the Lake District. This is presumably part of the National Park's push to promote Cumbria as a cycling destination. It's a long stage, too. 225km. Tempted to give it a go. :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3150#post-33497 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 15:59:32 +0000 amir 33497@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh no - too much choice!

S'pose I'll just ride the EL route by myself another weekend.</p> <p>Pedal For Scotland is on that day too I think. Is there anybody in Scotland who <em>won't</em> be on a bike on Sunday 11th September?? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3150#post-33487 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 14:23:51 +0000 PS 33487@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Last time they started in Peebles we went down to watch the start, then drove over towards Selkirk to catch the race en route. Twas a good day out. Can't go this year as I'll be on my hols. </p> <p>Are they going over the Beeftub? I had a feeling the route was by the Grey Mare's Tail? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3150#post-33448 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 11:20:30 +0000 kaputnik 33448@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh, I'm doing the Erit Lass... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3150#post-33425 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 09:20:50 +0000 riffian 33425@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Busy weekend with the 200km <a href="http://www.aukweb.net/events/detail/11-22/">Erit Lass Audax</a> starting from Musselburgh and running down that way on Sunday 11 Sept </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3150#post-33401 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 20:53:43 +0000 druidh 33401@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>£20 for the transfer back to Peebles.<br /> <a href="http://www.tourride.co.uk/scotland-pro-ride-transfer-services.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.tourride.co.uk/scotland-pro-ride-transfer-services.asp</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3150#post-33385 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 16:22:17 +0000 amir 33385@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I guess the best places to see the Tour are the start, going up a steep hill or at the end of the stage. Otherwise they'll just zoom past. I was on quite a gradient at the Giro and they still just zoomed past. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3150#post-33384 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 16:20:29 +0000 amir 33384@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Another great sportive at that time is the Tour of Tweedale on 3 Sept. Better route I think, nice cake and only £10.</p> <p>Not sure if I can go yet. I might be interested in a ride to see the start of the ToB the following week though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3150#post-33383 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 16:18:53 +0000 kaputnik 33383@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd rather cycle down to near peebles, perhaps side of Beef Tub and watch the race go by. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3150#post-33382 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 16:17:24 +0000 amir 33382@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The sportive details are here</p> <p><a href="http://www.tourride.co.uk/scotland.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.tourride.co.uk/scotland.asp</a></p> <p>In brief</p> <p> 4 Sept<br /> £35<br /> Prostrate Cancer<br /> Peebles to Dumfries - oneway (back on a bus - not sure if included in price)<br /> Route - there are harder in that area </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3150#post-33381 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 16:07:22 +0000 crowriver 33381@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is cycling the new marathon/fun run? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3150#post-33379 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 16:01:02 +0000 Smudge 33379@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>According to the newspaper report I read it's (another ******) charity ride :-&lt; </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3150#post-33378 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 15:48:04 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 33378@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Which day is the sportive? (can't access the site form work). Was going to suggest a forum ride to Peebles for the depart, but a sportive on the actual route sounds interesting. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3150#post-33359 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 12:24:02 +0000 druidh 33359@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Aye - I quite fancy the Sportive they're running on that route. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3150#post-33296 Mon, 13 Jun 2011 16:05:39 +0000 kaputnik 33296@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-13750565">Tour of Britain: Peebles to Dumfries stage launched</p> <p>The route for the Scottish stage of this year's Tour of Britain has been officially announced in the Borders.</a> </p>
