Questions
1) When will I receive my starter pack?
Starter packs are mailed out around 3 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; sponsorship form; route details; transport tickets (optional); all other information that you require to participate
2) Can I fundraise for any charity?
Pedal for Scotland’s charity partner is Leukaemia Research. We also have a selection of subsidiary charities which can be viewed from the drop down list on the on-line application form.
You are welcome to fundraise for any charity that you wish to, however, the onus to obtain the relevant sponsor forms is then with the participant.
3) Is there transport available?
Yes, there will be buses/trucks running to the start from Edinburgh (Victoria Park) and return buses from the finish back to Glasgow (Glasgow Green). The cost for this is £12 per person
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 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 229 5359 for further information.
7) What is the route?
The route for 2008 is still being finalised, but full details will be published soon.
