The UCI Cycling Championships take place in Glasgow and across Scotland from 3-13 August 2023. The event brings together thirteen cycling championships including the road races.
Road Races
There are three road races during the Championships that start in either Edinburgh or Balloch in West Dunbartonshire and end in Glasgow City Centre. They transit through a number of local authority areas, including East Dunbartonshire.
Unlike previous Time Trial cycling events in East Dunbartonshire, there will not be prolonged road closures for the duration of the race. Instead, there will be rolling road closures in each local authority area from a few minutes before the front riders are due in the locality until just after the final riders have cleared the area.
We anticipate this to take between 30-40 minutes for the East Dunbartonshire stretches.
The details of these races are as follows:
