| Hi I am looking to do a bike ride from London to Glasgow for charity and wondered if anyone could tell me either of good route or how to plan a route or if there is such a thing as sat nav for bikes?!?!? Thanks

| Hi Laura,
That would certainly be a challenge. how many days are you planning to do it over. Do you have any indication on whether you would prefer to go down the west coast or east coast of Britain. Starting in Glasgow, probably west is easier.
There are plenty of computers that maps can be loaded on to, check this one out :
Garmin Edge 705
I also used to have a blackberry 8800 which actually came with fairly decent satnav software. Not really sure about the practicalities of using either of these over long distance, but I'm sure they would help.

| Funny that, I'm going to Edinburgh from London on or around 23 June. I am also trying to plan my route - it is labour intensive using Google maps and I'm scratching around for something easier, too.

| Very very new to this site, and just getting back into cycling.
However, I did notice from the sustrans website (I'm sure it was), that there is a national cycle route that goes from London, to Edinburgh - and there is another official route that goes from Edinburgh to Glasgow.
