Not if you're riding a Taiwanese-made frame with Japanese components
like most people. That's globalisation for you ;-)

I know of a ride *to* Edinburgh:

I expect they'll be doing something once they get there, it looks like
the timeline on the website might tell you something useful.

Don't forget the sweatshop-produced wristband.

I think that there's talk of a CM to greet the rickshaw riders and
accompany everyone into town. If I get any further details I'll post
them here.

1st July 2005. Ride leaves Edinburgh (Meet at the Pavillion car-park nr
the junction of Oxgangs & Frogston Roads). Ride to Peebles to meet the
incoming rides, then ride back into Edinburgh as an "escort". By hook or
crook, I intend to make that ride.
