Some notes on the course from my own riding experience:



The changes to the Gibson Street part of the circuit are interesting too. After climbing great George street, on previous circuits, riders descended Gibson Street and carried on down Eldon, to Woodlands and turned at woodlands gate. This time they'll turn into Kelvingrove at the beginning of Eldon. I'm assuming they're removing the traffic lights etc., but even with that done it'll be a very tight turn under hard breaking before the climb up to Lord Roberts. This may tempt some riders to have a go on Great George to try get a gap. Park Circus and Lynedoch down to Woodlands and along Sauchiehall (pronounced sockie-hall) to Scott Street might be technical enough to hold a gap before that city centre maze.

Just FYI.

Oh great. The best one day racer in the world (MVDP) has attacked so people can stop SHlTTING all over Remco.

 

[Sciatic]

Only a gang of teenage girls can stop him now
