Pedal for Scotland, organised by Cycling Scotland, is Scotland’s biggest bike event. Back in 1999, the first event attracted 400 riders. The event has grown increasingly popular with more routes, bigger challenges and more and more participants joining in year on year.
In 2015, on our 17th anniversary, around 10,000 riders took part over 6 rides across Scotland. Pedal for Scotland took place on 5th, 6th and 13th September with six rides to choose from catering for all ages and abilities. The event kicked off on 5th September, when Glasgow Green played host to the 6 mile Wee Jaunt Glasgow. On 6th September, Pedal for Scotland’s main event day featured the 50 mile Classic Challenge ride from Glasgow to Edinburgh, the colossal 110 mile ride Big Belter from Glasgow to Edinburgh via the stunning Southern Uplands, the 9 mile Wee Jaunt from Kirkliston to Edinburgh and the 4 mile Wee Jaunt circular route round Murrayfield. Pedal for Scotland then travelled to Aberdeen a week later on 13th September when the 6 mile Wee Jaunt Aberdeen returned to Duthie Park for a third year.
