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 (optional); 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's official charity partner for 2013 is the STV Appeal. To find out more information regarding the appeal please click here. 

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?

Transport is available and participants will be able to book transport at the same time as their registration. Participants wanting to add transport after their registration can do so by logging in to their profile.

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. 

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.

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

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

If not 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 are working on a new 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. Please check back at a later date.
