Is this ride for me?
Yes, this ride is aimed at people of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re an experienced biker, cycle just occasionally or would like to start cycling more, this is the perfect ride for you. You don’t have to wear lycra and go cycling every weekend: the whole idea behind the Classic Challenge is that anyone and everyone can take part. We’ve had some amazing riders who only learned to cycle just months before the event… if they can do it, you can do it too!
Why should I take part?
To challenge yourself and experience the amazing atmosphere with thousands of great people, cycling between Scotland’s two largest cities! It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy a fun and active day out with family, friends or colleagues. If you’d like to, this is a great event to fundraise for a cause you care about.
What can I expect?
An early kick off to the morning as you leave Glasgow Green and follow a well signed and closed road route, while enjoying the beautiful Scottish views. You can take breaks at our rest stops, roughly every ten miles, with refreshments and music. End the ride with hundreds of spectators cheering as you cross the finish line and receive your well-deserved medal.

I should point out that the larger fitting bands for the Carradice QR system are perfect for the outsize seating tubes of my Birdy and Halfords...
Who won the women's race as I must have missed the report on road.cc?
I had someone tell me about another fake camera that they might brake and aquaplane. They drive on the road but don't even know what aquaplaning is...
"with lean strong physiques" More body shaming !
I know, cos I wasn't in the video
Don't forget their insurance will double or even triple for the next few years...
All that glisters...there's an awful lot of fake Rapha kit available, not got any myself but from the photographs online it looks pretty...
Car damaged after crashing into house in Hereford street...
Yeah, I can't find any authoritative studies from a quick search. Anecdotally, EV owners are wearing through tyres quicker than with ICE vehicles...
If you're interested, Westbrook Cycles have them down to £140 already, albeit in a very limited range of sizes.
