Ford's RideGlasgow event is set to give families and keen bikers of all ages and abilities the opportunity to travel past some of Glasgow’s iconic landmarks. The route includes Glasgow Green, Merchant City and George Square.
Glasgow cyclists are to be given the 'unique opportunity' to enjoy city centre roads traffic-free as well as take on challenges in a new free event.
More seasoned cyclists will also be able to try their hand at the infamous 14% gradient Montrose Street incline which featured at the UCI Cycling World Championships last year. Cyclists have a choice of two distances to tackle: a full Urban Hill Climb up the 200m length of Montrose Street, and a Wee Urban Hill Climb of half the distance.
No registration is required for either event which is due to take place between 10am and 1pm on Sunday, June 9. The rest of the route will be available from 10am till 4pm on the day and feature family friendly festival zones at Glasgow Green and George Square. Anyone interested in joining a Led Ride should arrive 15 to 20 minutes before the departure time for a briefing by the ride leaders and bike check.East : Emirates Arena, 1000 London Road, Glasgow G40 3HG .West : Drumchapel Cycle Hub, 195 Drumry Road East, Glasgow G15 8NS .Lisa Brankin, Chair & Managing Director of Ford Britain & Ireland, said: "Ford is pleased to sponsor the new Ford RideGlasgow FreeCycle.
