Grandview Heights readies for Tour de Grandview
The Tour de Grandview Bike Race will be returning to downtown Grandview in mid-June bringing hundreds of world-class professional bikers to central Ohio.
On race-day, the races will begin with Category 4/5 women starting their 30-minute runs at 5:30 pm. They will be followed by the Cat 4/5 men at 6:05 pm. An hour-long Kid Sprint will begin at 6:40 pm. Category 3/4 men bikers will start their 45-minute runs at 7:40 pm. At 8:30 pm the Category Pro/1/2/3 women will begin their 50-minute rides, and at 9:30 pm, the Category Pro/1/2/3 men will begin their hour-long rides.
Kid racers will receive new helmets and finisher ribbons. Members First Credit Union will award a savings certificate to the winners.
Proud parents of children’s bike race winners often take pictures of the budding cyclist receiving the award and take them to local stationery printers to be added to family newsletters or calendars.
An expo area will have local bike shops displaying the latest bike gear and cycles and selling bike-related items. Guests may get free safety inspections at the Trek tents. Trek Columbus will also be raffling bikes and other prizes.
The Tour de Grandview Street Party, between First and Third Streets on Grandview Avenue, will feature food, live music and craft beer from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm.
The Tour de Grandview Bike Race is scheduled for Friday, June 10th.
