1) When will I receive my starter pack?

Starter packs are mailed out around 2 weeks before the event. If you register only a week or so before the event you may have to pick up your starter pack from a collection point in either Glasgow or Edinburgh on the day of the event.

The starter pack will include your: T-shirt; entry number; route details; transport tickets (optional); all other information that you require to participate.

2) Can I fundraise for any charity?

freshnlo Pedal for Scotland has an official charity partner: Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres. 

freshnlo Pedal for Scotland does not encourage or facilitate any fundraising from charities that are not the official charity partner.

3) Is there transport available?

Yes, there will be buses/trucks running to the start from Edinburgh and return buses from the finish back to Glasgow. The cost for this is £15 per person.

Please be advised that on the day of the event there will be thousands of cyclists coming into Edinburgh and ScotRail is unable to carry large numbers of cycles on its services. We strongly recommend riders use the Event Transport Service to get from Edinburgh to the start in Glasgow, and to get back to Glasgow after the finish in Edinburgh.

4) How does the transport work?

Each participant loads their bike onto a truck (each will be numbered) then heads to get the first available bus.  Both bike and participant will be transported through, either to Edinburgh or Glasgow, depending on whether travelling to the start or from the finish, at which point the participant will be able to collect their bike from the relevant bike pen (the same number as that of the truck).

For security purposes each participant is given a vest number and a bike frame number. Upon arrival at the destination security staff will ask each participant to show their vest number and they will then be matched up with their bike.

5) Can I add further people in to an existing team?

Yes, just make sure that the team name is spelled exactly the same.

If you have registered a team already and want to enter into the new Cycle Friendly Employer Corporate Challenge you can do so by emailing us. 

6) How do I know if I and the rest of my team are registered?

A successful entrant will receive confirmation emails from both Cycling Scotland and WorldPay detailing all participant details and a receipt of the amount paid.

If neither of these have been received there is a high probability that you have not been registered.

If you have any further queries regarding your registration please don't hesitate to call                                0141 348 7998                for further information.

7) What is the route?

This year we have introduced an interactive map which can be viewed in different formats to give a real feel for the ride. If you use Google Earth, you can also download the route.
