A MUM-OF-THREE has completed an incredible cycle from Glasgow to Edinburgh – on just one wheel.

While hundreds of others were cycling between the two cities as part of Pedal for Scotland’s Classic Challenge, Dunbar’s Jane Irwin was doing things a little bit differently.

Remarkably, she covered most of the 46-mile course on a unicycle – less than a year after finding the one-wheeled contraption in her uncle’s shed.

Jane, who was raising money for the Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic, which is based in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, admitted covering the hilly course was an exhausting experience.

She said: “It was really hilly and it was really hard going.

“I was the last person from the Classic Challenge to come over the finish line.

“It was tiring and I had to get lots of water and electrolytes in me.”

The fundraiser saw cyclists set off from Glasgow Green early on the Sunday morning before pedalling across the country to Ingliston, near Edinburgh.

Thirty-four-year-old Jane decided to take part in the event and raise money for the clinic, which covers Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Motor Neurone Disease, after her dad Richard was diagnosed with Parkinson’s about five years ago.

The progressive neurological condition affects more than 125,000 people across the country but Richard was there at the finish line to celebrate the end of the event.

Unsurprisingly, Jane’s mode of transport, which she spotted in her uncle’s shed after visiting him in Durham, caught the eye of more than a few people on the route.

She said: “I got loads of encouragement from the other riders.

“They all passed me and there was loads of cheering.

“Somebody crashed and fell off watching me and they cycled into a sign and fell off.

“There was another lady who went past and shouted ‘three cheers for the unicycle lady’.”

Jane, of Torry Wynd, who works as a trials assistant at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, was not the only unusual attraction from Dunbar making their way from Glasgow to Edinburgh over the weekend.

Barry and Aaron Chisholm were joined by Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games legend Hamish the Scottie dog.

Hamish was one of 40 dogs acting as Team Name Bearers during the opening ceremony at Celtic Park two years.

The trio were joined by Aaron’s grandfather, Reg, as well as Barry’s nephew Ben Chisholm and brother-in-law Robert Courtney on the cycle and managed to raise more than £1,000, with £500 sponsorship coming from Taylor Wimpey East Scotland.

Barry, who pedalled with Hamish in a trailer sponsored by Belhaven Bikes, added: “This year, Cycling Scotland and Scottish Television welcomed us back for another year so that I could tow Hamish from Glasgow to Edinburgh again.

“STV filmed us during the cycle as they did last year, and we will be shown on TV when they show how and where they are spending the money raised.

“We’re absolutely delighted to have completed the course once again and I’d like to thank all of our sponsors, including our main sponsor Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, for their donations that will help children in Scotland affected by poverty.”
