10 SEPTEMBER 2017 – GLASGOW TO EDINBURGH – 93 MILES* – ALL RIDERS RECEIVE A MEDAL – TRANSPORT AVAILABLE
The Pedal for Scotland Big Belter® is a Sportive ride of 93 miles from Glasgow to Edinburgh.

The transport service will serve Big Belter® riders too, meaning there is an easy and hassle free way to get you and your bike to the start in Glasgow Green, or back home from Edinburgh at the finish.
