Made it today. But not without incident. In an ill-conceived effort to quicken the journey I joined the A1. At Dunbar only to be pulled over by police. Apparently cycling on the A1 bypass is illegal. Anyway I was escorted off...not by a police car with blue lights flashing but a walking officer in hi-viz. Tad embarrassing if I'm honest. Anyway no harm done. I'm here. Is it a first? Single speed London to Edinburgh by a 61 year old dad with a cardiac pacemaker and screwed together pelvis? Sod it. I'm claiming it. Thanks for following. Mel
Just had a look. Cycling is banned from the A199/B6370 roundabout westwards. East of there you should have been OK, as there's no signage. Did you join at the Spott Road roundabout or at the A199/B6370 roundabout?
