Record year for bike ride

HUNDREDS of cyclists have turned out for a popular bike ride between Dunfermline and Edinburgh.

The SEStran Two Capitals Cycle Ride marked its fifth successful year with a record 450 participants.

SEStran chairman Russell Imrie said: "The ride went off without a hitch and thankfully we had a fine dry day.

"Once again, participation has risen - this time from 350 to 450 riders - securing the ride's position as the biggest all-abilities event of its kind in south-east Scotland. Next year we will aim to break the 500 barrier."
