After the remarkable success of the 2013 British Cycling National Road Race and Time Trial Championships in Glasgow, information is available for venues interested in hosting the championships in 2014.
Over 30,000 spectators watched Mark Cavendish and Lizzie Armitstead become national road champions in the city centre on Sunday 23 June.
Prior to that on Thursday Alex Dowsett and Joanna Rowsell were crowned national time trial champions as for the first time the British Time Trial Championships were incorporated into the same week of racing.
These developments reflect the increased profile of the event and are an indication of the direction the championships has taken in recent years. British Cycling is inviting future host venues to continue to raise the bar for the event going forward.
“The status that the championships now have and the calibre of riders who contest them make the National Road Championships into a compelling major event proposition for any town, city or region looking to establish itself as a host of major sporting events.”
