The University of Glasgow is organising its 9th sponsored cycle, continuing to raise essential funds for the Paul O'Gorman Leukaemia Research Centre in Glasgow.  This is a fun, family cycling event designed for riders of all abilities.  You can choose to cycle 13 or 26 miles, starting and finishing in Kelvingrove Park.

To date, with your support, we have raised more than £323,000 through our sponsored cycles.  2010 was another record year for the Paul O'Gorman Leukaemia Research Centre which continues to expand in terms of staffing and to further its international reputation for the research being conducted into many types of blood cancer.

The Course

The start and finish area for Cycle Glasgow is positioned at the main entrance gates of Kelvingrove Park, at the corner of Kelvingrove Street and Royal Terrace.

Parking is available free of charge on Kelvingrove Street, Royal Terrace and the surrounding area. Cyclists can also park free of charge on campus by enterting the University from the Main Gate. Please note that you will need to pay for parking on Kelvin Way.

Cyclists will be set off from Kelvingrove Park at 10.00am, heading towards Clydebank on the Kelvin Walkway and will return via the Cycle Path on the Forth and Clyde Canal. All cyclists have the option to cover 13 or 26 miles (two laps of the route). The route is family friendly. A half way point will be located at Clydebank Shopping Centre.

Volunteer stewards will be positioned throughout the route.

Volunteering

As a charity event, Cycle Glasgow relies upon the good will of volunteers to help steward the route on the day of the event. We also require volunteers to provide some basic bike maintenance on the day. If you are willing to give up a few hours of your time for a very good cause, we could love to hear from you!

Your services will be required from approximately 10.00am - 3.00pm on Sunday 14 August. We will provide you with full briefing details nearer the day of the event.

If you are interested in acting as a route steward or a Dr Bike, please contact: fiona.donnelly@glasgow.ac.uk for further details.
