Bishopbriggs Cycle Festival
This years’ Bishopbriggs Cycle Festival will be even 'better than before' with a truly amazing line up of things to watch, ride and race. It’s on Sunday 19th June from 2pm to 5pm in Bishopbriggs, Etive Park, G64 1PN. This is an event with something for all ages, so I would be grateful if you would spread the news. Last year over 1,000 people joined in, I hope you too can make it along. The headline attractions include:
* The Clan, the UK’s top stunt team;
* TheAirBag, a fabulous attraction that featured at the World Cup Mountain Bike Festival in Fort William;
* The Bike Track People;
* Cycling Scotland’s Go MTB skills development area;
* Scottish Cycling Go Ride accredited races for junior riders;
* CTC Bike Club Youth BMX display team;
* Progressive Bikes Downhill Dual Slalom;
* Uni cycling training;
* and a ‘have a go’, demo bike circuit with heaps of bikes for everyone to try out
ED's Cycle Co-op will also be attempting to find the 'youngest rider in East Dunbartonshire', offering a free bike bike to the youngest person peddling on two wheels. If they can make it to the Bishopbriggs Cycle Festival on Sunday the 19th, demonstrate their ability, with proof of age, they win an Conc 14 Islabike, worth £170.
ED's Cycle Co-op is raising aspirations by lowering the age of participation.

Possibly. If the weather isn't too bad it'll be good. In George Square again today. It's a bit wet just now.
Bishopbriggs Festval was great fun despite the rain. Even gave the AIRBAG a go!
