Social Events

Lloyds Tour of Britain - Family Cycling Festival

Sunday 8th June, 1-4pm

Ride the same traffic-free, closed race circuit around Glasgow’s city centre as the professional women taking part in the final stage of the Lloyds Tour of Britain Women.

Come and watch the final stage of the route and join us for a ride around the track after the pros have finished their race. WoW volunteers will lead out the public ride onto the race circuit - everyone is welcome even if you are not a WoW volunteer - we just want to see as many women as possible cycling around the car-free city centre! If you would like to join us, please email Rachel on teens@womenonwheels.org.uk.

If it doesn’t suit you to join us for the first ride at 1pm, you can cycle the race circuit at any point that suits you before it closes at 4pm.

Choose to cycle the full 8km loop or for little legs choose the shorter circuit around Glasgow Green.

There will also be free, fun activities for all the family. WoW will have a stall in Glasgow Green so please come over and say hi! We’d love to have a chat!

For all the details, head to British Cycling’s webpage to find out more.
