Bookings open on Wednesday 10 February for London’s new cycling hub Lee Valley VeloPark.
Online booking now open for Lee Valley VeloPark – the scene of so many of Team GB’s triumphs in the London 2012 Games.
Lee Valley VeloPark on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park includes the Olympic velodrome, remodelled Olympic BMX track, a one mile (1.6km) flood-lit road circuit and five miles (8km) of mountain biking trails. It is the first venue in the world to bring these four cycling activities together in one place. The venue will have its formal launch on Wednesday 12 March.
Public sessions begin on 31 March and are available for everyone – from grassroots level to elite, from toddlers to more mature riders, and everyone in between. There are specific women’s sessions, tasters for disability cycling and tandem rides for the visually impaired. Taster sessions are a great way to try one of the disciplines with a Lee Valley VeloPark’s coach.
To book and ride taster sessions – at the best cycling venue in the world go to visitleevalley.org.uk/velopark, sign up for free membership and choose your session.
Shaun Dawson, Chief Executive of Lee Valley Regional Park Authority said: “The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games inspired a new generation of cycling enthusiasts. Lee Valley VeloPark will build on the legacy of the Games and will give the public a unique chance to cycle at the same venue as the world’s best athletes.
“With bookings open today it has brought all the hard work since 2012 to life. It’s an exciting time for everyone involved with Lee Valley VeloPark, and we will offer visitors an incredible and memorable experience.”
