Men's Elite Road Race (Video 2/7), UCI Cycling World Championships, Glasgow 2023

Men's Elite Road Race, UCI Cycling World Championships, Glasgow 2023 (Video 2 of 7)

I'm incredibly lucky that the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships are based in Glasgow and even luckier that the Men's Elite Road Race passes the end of the road where I live on Sunday 6th August. Much of the route I have already cycled and filmed and is available here on Kinomap, but I decided to film these again as close to the race as possible. The Scottish government is investing over £300m in repairing the roads that the UCI competitors will be using in the championships.

The Men's Elite Road Race covers 271km between Edinburgh and Glasgow finishing with 10 laps of a 14km route through Glasgow's City Centre.  Some of the route I cannot film as it is over roads that will be closed for the race but which cyclists are not allowed on normally - e.g. the new Queensferry Crossing over the River Forth. This video (#2) covers the route from the Queensferry Crossing over the River Forth (South to North) to the Clackmannanshire Bridge, also over the River Forth (North to South).  There is one small deviation from the official UCI route. The UCI cyclists will cross the river Forth via the Queensferry crossing which is a motorway from which cyclists are banned - except on 6th August 2023. I take you over the Forth Road Bridge with the Queensferry crossing to your left. I also stopped the video a little short of the Clackmannanshire Bridge as I had to stop when a bee got stuck in my helmet!  The route does continue contiguously in the next video, however.  Finally, although there are no significant hills on this ride I did film it riding into a 40km/h headwind so you might want to ramp up that resistance a bit! 

The whole route is 271km, far too long for my old legs to do all in one go (and also too long for my old GoPro camera to film!) so I have divided the route up into six 'small' chunks that I can cycle and film as follows:
