Glasgow World Champs - BMX and Women's Road Race

A train through to Glasgow to spectate at the BMX finals at the BMX track to the west of the city. 42 races across Quarter, Semis and Finals for Junior, U23, Elite, M & F. Fast and furious with a lot of nasty crashes keeping the medics busy. Good views of the races. Not a bad spectator sport and got through a lot of action in a couple of hours.


From there headed on to Glasgow City Centre and watched the women's road race go by. Even with a city centre circuit and multiple passes the road race just isn't a good spectator experience on the ground. Headed to the big screen with commentary in George Square, got a nice beer and enjoyed a great atmosphere watching a very good race.


This was the finale for the Mega World Championships. A big success for Glasgow and Scotland with the whole thing going very well across a range of first class cycling venues.
