Tomorrow 100 cyclists will join Lockerbie’s fab five – the Cycle to Syracuse team – while they cycle from ‘the Cairn to the Castle.’
Paul Rae, Brian Asher, Colin Dorrance, David Whalley and David Walpole — along with 100 others will cycle from Lockerbie Academy to Edinburgh Castle.
"For now, all cyclists should be prepared for suitable wet weather clothing and ensure that front and rear lights are fitted and fully charged, for additional visibility if necessary. "The vast majority of participating cyclists are highly experienced on the road in many conditions, and a pool of several motorbikes, vans and marked cars will all contribute to the safety arrangements - however safety will remain under constant review before and during the event. "Look back and act forward seems like very pertinent advice at this stage."
