You anticipating rule changes today??
Eleven is possible in a loop from Balerno.
Left as exercise for the reader.
Now think 12 might be possible.
12 in a hundred miles is a challenge. Does it involve hike a bike into the borders?
Yeah - heading into the Pentlands to get to the Borders and Midlothian.
But to keep it under 100 miles, you'd also need to be on some main roads elsewhere on the route, so picking the right bike for it might be a challenge in itself.
Swap bikes checkpoints??
If you're going to that level of effort would you not be as well adding the extra miles and going round the back of the Pentlands?
Clacks makes 10
Perth and kinross ?
Eleven would be:
Edinburgh
Fife
Clacks
Perthshire
Stirling
Falkirk
N Lanarkshire
S Lanarkshire
W Lothian
Borders
Midlothian
Twelve, I think, is possible with:
Edinburgh
Fife
Clacks
Stirling
Falkirk
E Dunbartonshire
Glasgow
N Lanarkshire
S Lanarkshire
West Lothian
Borders
Midlothian

Did I ever tell you the HBT story? The running club Hunter’s Bog Trotters shout HBT repeatedlyto gee themselves up.
Before the races.
I only ever saw them on Harris and Skye. But they are an edinburgh hash house harrier type team
Harris was the last Hebridean half marathon so Jim the organiser (also organises the secret WoL half marathon) gave a speech which turned into a retrospective. The first ten years there was no sponsorship so no prizes just Glory and HBT won. Then the next ten years we did have prizes and Portobello won. Then the sponsorship dried up and no prizes So the HBT returned to their winning ways....
