Pedal for Scotland 2010

Well that's the Pedal for Scotland finishing line been roled across for another year. Taking about 4 hours to complete yesterday (including a few food stops along the way) we managed to raise almost £1,300 for Maggie's so a big 'thank you' to all that sponsored us.

Scotland's biggest charity bike ride attracted over 9,000 riders this year and the weather was perfect so why not join us to do it all again in 2011?

There's talk already of doing the 100 mile challenge next year. Just talk, mind you.
