Glasgow Grand Prix

[BrianS]

The Glasgow Grand Prix needs your help!

 

 

 

The Glasgow GP, a British elite circuit series event, on Monday 28th August needs entries. Glasgow City Council is using this event to showcase their 2014 Commonwealth Games bid. Event Scotland will also be in attendance to see how popular these events can be with the possibility of more events like this in the future. The old ‘Kellogg’s’ events were fantastic and it would be great to bring back this atmosphere to the city centre’s of Britain once again. Let’s support this event and show people that cycling can be a spectacle. Help bring cycling back to our city centre’s where it belongs!

 

 

 

The course is a rectangular circuit of approx. one kilometer and pancake flat. The streets are between 2-3 lanes wide so there is plenty room for a full field. Suitable for not only road riders but track riders and any others wanting to test out their form against some of Britain’s best. A handful of Tour of Britain competitors will be riding to spin their legs. The event will be covered by cycling.tv so make sure you practice your pose.

 

 

 

GCC are going to do a marketing campaign for the Glasgow GP including posters around the area of the square and in all their facilities and will also target Radio Clyde and local press to get the message across as much as possible. They are also trying to get some events in the middle of the square such as demonstration trials riding etc.

 

Scottish Cycling are going to promote an event before the main Elite event for Future Stars to bring youth racing to the heart of Glasgow.

 

Everything is in place so all we need now is the support of all the riders - get those entries in and spread the word to all potential spectators and lets have a great event to rival the Kellogg’s of yesteryear.
