Cycling enthusiasts and spectators will be lining the streets of Grandview Heights to witness the international field of professional cyclists participating in the 2023 Tour de Grandview Cycling Classic coming in mid-June.
Juniors ages 9 through 12 and 13 through 15 will begin their races at 1:00 pm. They will be followed by juniors 16 through 18 at 1:25 pm, and Men’s Masters 55+ at 2:00 pm. Men’s Masters ages 45-54 will leave the starting line at 2:40 pm, and the Men’s 35-44 will begin at 3:20 pm. Women’s Masters 35+ will start at 4:00 pm followed by Women’s 3/4/5 at 4:40 pm.
A little change of pace will be the foot race at 5:15 pm, and the Kids’ Sprints at 5:50 pm.
Cycling will resume at 6:30 pm with the Men’s 4/5, followed by the Men’s ¾ at 7:10 pm. The Pro 1/2/3s will begin at 8:00 pm with the Women’s race at 9:00 pm along with the Men’s.
The course will be a rectangular route starting and finishing on W 1st Avenue. Riders will turn north on Willard Avenue, west on W 2nd, south on Grandview and east back on to W 1st Avenue. The route has sharp turns and will certainly provide fast-paced action.
Spectators at events such as this often get some banner printing done to add some color as they encourage their favorite cyclists.
Tour de Grandview Cycling Classic will be Saturday, June 10.
