There's one decent hill but I can do it on a big gear single speed so really, it's a dawdle. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6400#post-68761 Thu, 03 May 2012 23:15:02 +0000 Puzzle 68761@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Pedal for Scotland was my first long ride last year. Great family event and very friendly. There's stops every 10 miles for fuelling (Think there was one you had to pay - very cheap and mountain of cake mmm cake!) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6400#post-68743 Thu, 03 May 2012 22:28:15 +0000 SRD 68743@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>i gather there's a plan for an edinburgh family ride - 9 miles. would be fine. but the longer one might be more fun, and nice to have some back-up etc for our first longish ride. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6400#post-68738 Thu, 03 May 2012 22:21:22 +0000 Nelly 68738@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Family ride is just a pootle round glasgow green, you could do the normal ride on tandem - lots do it out of condition and on tesco mtbs, so anything goes really. You wont be the slowest. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6400#post-68714 Thu, 03 May 2012 21:20:01 +0000 DaveC 68714@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nope sorry I have'nae done this ride yet.</p> <p>I'm getting together a merry band of colleagues at work. We're raising money for a local cancer charity and the 'heads of sheds' are ok'ing corporate sponsorship and company logo'd cycling kit!</p> <p>WooW! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6400#post-68710 Thu, 03 May 2012 21:05:30 +0000 SRD 68710@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thinking of maybe doing this this year? Probably the long run with K. on tandem and baby in seat or the family ride w/her on her own bike? </p> <p>Any advice? </p>
