Got this in my email this morning.. I should reccommend this - a bunch
of the young lasses in the club were quite taken with the likes of
Chris Hoy, Ross Edgar et al at a recent track meet. Very approachable
and nice people.

CYCLE WITH THE STARS
Some of the stars of world cycling will be pedalling along the roads of
Ayrshire on Saturday, 28 October, as part of a mass participation
fundraising ride. Sean Kelly, the Irishman who was world number one for
much of the 1980s, and Scotland's Olympic champion Chris Hoy will
lead the rides, over distances of 23 or 43 miles. And they will be
joined by another Scottish hero, Graeme Obree - the subject of a
recently premiered feature film - as well as Allan Peiper, Craig
Mclean, Ross Edgar, James McCallum & Kate Cullan.
Anyone can register to join in these rides, where the emphasis is on
participation and fun rather than fitness and speed. Kelly, Hoy and
Obree will not be at the front, leading the charge, but have instead
promised to move around the groups of cyclists, sharing their
experiences and passing on tips to all participants.
No previous experience of riding in a group is required - only
enthusiasm and enough fitness to ride a bike over 23 miles. And there
are no time limits, either. Men and women and boys and girls of all
ages and levels of experience are therefore welcome to take part in an
unforgettable day out in the company of some of the biggest names in
world cycling.
The first Braveheart Fundraising Ride was held last year, and it was a
great success. Some 400 riders took part, including Kelly, Hoy and
Obree, with all participants hailing a memorable day out, on a route
selected to take in some of the best roads and quiet lanes of Ayrshire.
With registration now open, this year's ride is scheduled to beat
last year's figure - and 500 is the target.
