"I really enjoyed taking part in the ride, talking to cyclists on route and hearing great enthusiasm about cycling from both experienced and new riders.

"Pedal for Scotland is a great event for the whole family and it's fantastic to see so many people taking up the challenge."

	Former First Minister Jack Connell "Pedal for Scotland is a great Scottish event, and it's very encouraging to see a huge increase in participants this year. The record number of cyclists taking part proves that cycling is an increasingly popular pastime as people think more about their personal health and our environment."
	Chris Hoy "Cycling has brought me a lot of pleasure, and being a Scot I know how lucky we are to have beautiful scenery and quiet roads to enjoy by bike. Whether you cycle for health, fun, sport or commuting, join the ride, enjoy the day and Pedal for Scotland."
	Liz McColgan "I've been involved with Leukaemia Research for a number of years now, so when I heard they were getting involved in Pedal for Scotland, I really wanted to lend my support. I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday than cycling across Scotland, especially when it raises much needed funds for such a worthwhile charity".
	Nell Nelson 'I love cycling and I love food. There are some fantastic eating opportunities in Scotland and cycling is a great way to discover Scotland - and build up an appetite!  We Scots are very fortunate to have some of the world's most breath-taking scenery and whether it is for fun or fitness, cycling is definitely the best way to experience dramatic Highland glens, remote beaches and vibrant city life.  I am really looking forward to spending Sunday with so many of my fellow cyclists'
