Glasgow Future Stars Race In The Tour of Britain (this from the BC website)
Youth A and B riders (and junior women) have been given a great opportunity to ride in front of big crowds in an exciting city centre venue during the upcoming Tour of Britain.
In association with the Braveheartfund and the Tour of Britain, organiser of the Glasgow Grand Prix Criterium Event, Graeme McGinty is also taking entries for a Future Stars race on the same day, Monday 28th August.
The Future Stars race will be 25 mins plus 5 laps and is open to both male and females in Youth A and B categories. Junior females will also be able to ride. So if there are any Youths out there who fancy racing around closed roads in George Square in Glasgow, then this is a golden opportunity to show how good you are at the biggest bike race in Britain.
After there week away in Belgium, courtesy of the Braveheartfund, Gary Willis Scottish Cycling’s National Development Coach, will bring the Youth Squad along to keep the quality of the field high. Interested?
