Thankee muchly for visiting our JustGiving page.

We're planning to do the Sportive pedal for scotland event this september - 100 miles (and pounds) of bum breaking action. Ups, downs, flat tyres... and hopefully lots of munchies... 

This all started because I cycled from Edinburgh to Glasgow along the canal a couple of years ago with some crazy friends who were training for a cycle to the shetlands. I was on my wee hybrid bike, Bertie, with mountain bike tyres. It took about 4 hours, and it nearly killed me. Particularly when we decided to race a ned on his mobile phone. Since then I've ended up dragging some friends along the coast in Fife, 75 miles to St. Andrews. And Sam has got a very shiny bike.

We were thinking about maybe doing this event in a fairly non-committal way just because it was an incremental challenge (50, 75, 100) until I mentioned it to Julia Wilson of sense about science. She is fundraising for a new 'Report Dodgy Science' campaign. This aims to challenge misleading 'scientific' claims that give real scientists a bad name. Checkout their website, especially the campaign against homeopathy on the NHS and in developing countries- of course it's cheaper, there's no proof!
