With fewer than 20 days to go until Britain's biggest professional women's cycling event, the Lloyds Tour of Britain Women, finishes in Glasgow, riders and organisers gathered on Glasgow Green to celebrate the event and accompanying Family Cycling Festival.

Glasgow Life is among the organisers of stage four of the Lloyds Tour of Britain Women, which will be held within the city centre on Sunday 8 June. After the race, fans, families, and cyclists of all ages and abilities will have the chance to ride the same route in the afternoon, completely free of charge.

The Lloyds Tour of Britain Family Cycling Festival will run from 9am to 5pm in Glasgow Green, with free events and activities throughout the day for people to enjoy. The 10-lap professional race will take place on the 8.4-kilometre circuit between 10am and 12.15pm, with each lap running through the event village on Glasgow Green, where there will be big screens to follow all the action.

From 1pm to 4pm, fans, families, and cyclists of all ages and abilities will be able to ride on the same circuit and enjoy a unique cycling experience in the heart of Glasgow.

In addition to the main route, a 2.4-kilometre route around Glasgow Green will also be available during the same window for those who prefer a shorter ride. 

With the race and Lloyds Tour of Britain Family Cycling Festival both due to start and finish in Glasgow Green, riders Arianne Holland (Handsling Alba Development Road Team) and Morven Yeoman (DAS - Hutchinson), joined representatives from event partners Glasgow Life, VisitScotland, Scottish Cycling, and race organisers British Cycling to celebrate the event.
