Olympic Park to host 2013 cycling festival
One of the first large-scale events to be held in London's Olympic Park following the 2012 Games will be a two-day cycling festival under plans announced by mayor Boris Johnson.
Due to take place in August 2013, the event is designed to attract more than 200,000 visitors to the capital and will include a family fun ride for up to 70,000 cyclists around the city.
The second day will see up to 35,000 amateur, club and world-class elite cyclists embark on a 100-mile course beginning in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
A tender process through Transport for London and London and Partners will now be held in order to secure a commercial delivery partner for the festival.
Johnson said: "This spectacular event will help ensure that the 2012 Games are just the start, not the end of the benefits of hosting the Olympics."
