The £500,000 project to re-surface 1948 Olympic track Herne Hill , at the bequest of life-long supporter of the Herne Hill Velodrome Leonard Lyes, was hailed by Minister for Sport and the Olympics Hugh Robertson. “I am particularly pleased to see British Cycling investing in community facilities such as these at Herne Hill. Their commitment to this project says a lot about the sort of organisation they are."

2012 and beyond

The London VeloPark, situated within the Olympic Park in East London, will leave a lasting legacy for cycling.  A new mountain bike course and road circuit in addition to the 6,000 capacity velodrome and 400m BMX circuit along with café, bike hire and cycle workshop facilities will help the VeloPark become the epicentre of cycling in the capital.

The Olympic year will see more plans developed, ventures supported and facilities built.  Cyclopark in Kent , set to open this spring, is just one example. Boasting a 2.9km closed road circuit, 340m BMX track with an arena to facilitate major events and 6km of mountain bike trials, the £7m outdoor haven is a superb asset to the South East.
