Many of the trains only have room for 2 bikes maximum, so you'd need to be at the platform early, stand in the right place ahead of time, and have sharp elbows! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2023#post-21284 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 13:27:21 +0000 Dave 21284@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If you can wait a couple of years, you can do a *real* epic ride:</p> <p><a href="http://www.londonedinburghlondon.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.londonedinburghlondon.com/</a></p> <p>Alternatively, if you'd just like to simulate the experience of riding from London to Edinburgh one-way, there are two 600km audax rides this summer leaving from central Edinburgh.</p> <p><a href="http://www.aukweb.net/cal/calsolo.php?Ride=11-389&amp;Rider=7987">Edinburgh-Preston-Edinburgh</a> on the 28th May. (Obvious as it sounds, ride to Preston and back).</p> <p><a href="http://www.aukweb.net/cal/calsolo.php?Ride=11-159&amp;Rider=7987">Only for Softies</a> on the 11th June. (Ride to near Carlisle, along the coast and back to Edinburgh at about 400km to sleep - then a 200km loop out to Stirling and around a bit to finish off).</p> <p>I'll be doing both of these. From our flat to central London by the shortest possible (inc. motorway) route is 603km.</p> <p>Any takers? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2023#post-21283 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 13:25:27 +0000 kaputnik 21283@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>is it reasonably easy to get to dunfermile (and the start) by train?</em></p> <p>Yes, Pittencreiff Park is about 500m from Dunfermline Town station on Fife Circle line - although cycle stowage on these trains is pretty limited.</p> <p>It's just as reasonably easy to get there by bike too :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2023#post-21278 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 13:15:40 +0000 SRD 21278@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>is it reasonably easy to get to dunfermile (and the start) by train? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2023#post-21277 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 13:05:33 +0000 ruggtomcat 21277@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>wow, one impossible and the other that could be tacked by a fish on a scooter. Anyone fancy Dublin to Edinburgh? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2023#post-21276 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 13:04:36 +0000 kaputnik 21276@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Easier? I sent this to a friend at work and we both quickly decided that we'd like a <em>harder</em> version where each rider got to cycle the whole thing, at their own pace (rather than at the event pace). £1800 seemed a LOT of money to raise for basically cycling 200 miles each. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2023#post-21273 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 12:47:58 +0000 cb 21273@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>An easier version:</p> <p><a href="http://www.twocapitals.org/">http://www.twocapitals.org/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2023#post-21242 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 11:50:55 +0000 chdot 21242@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"AN epic 37-hour cycle from London to Edinburgh is to be staged this summer raising money for a male cancer charity."</p> <p><a href="http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/Saddle-up-for-capital-to.6687674.jp" rel="nofollow">http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/Saddle-up-for-capital-to.6687674.jp</a> </p>
