I'm waiting on some bright spark to ask what all the fuss is about when people can manage to cycle safely from Kirkcaldy to Edinburgh.

Without knowing the ride organisers at all, I'm guessing that 'people' will cover mainly fit men, young to middle aged. When eight to eighty year olds are cycling safely from Kirkcaldy to Edinburgh, our work will be done

Aherm... on the Audax's I ride on there are plenty of men over 70 who woop my rear end on the rides - I used to consider myself fit. ;)
Steve, I'm driving in with my family.

First audax I went on I got passed by a 70+ year old chap on a fixed wheel. He immediately became my cycling hero. Not as supple as he used to be though, I re-passed him when the road turned sharply downwards.

And there are certainly some octogenarian cyclists in Dumfries who can outpedal me for distance if not for speed. I think we'd all agree that they're a bit of a breed apart though.
Apologies now if the Kirkcaldy crew turn out to be the members of the local Rural, with their granddaughters in tow. And hats off to them!
