Anyone been? I won a competition and got a VIP tour of the park (no riding though Crying or Very sad )

It looks fantastic and I think the pricelist of it is very reasonable.

The indoor track is expensive obviously but still £30 for a taster session is reasonable I think.

The road, BMX and MTB Tracks are from £6 an hour, although you have to get accredited on the BMX for £15.

So an Olympic legacy site.
Which means it's in London.
So me being north of Watford, I'm guessing it's not for the likes of the rest of the UK. So, just like the Olympics then!

There's some very interesting stuff being built in Manchester. World level indoor BMX track, velodrome and mountain bike trails about 10 minutes cycle away from Piccadilly train station. The velodrome has been there for ages and the BMX track has been there for a couple of years now. The mountain bike trails were half open but were still being completed when I left the UK last year.

Get yourself on the track it's great fun. I've been around the velodrome at Manchester a few times (tenner a go, last time I went) and the sense of speed is incredible.

Just don't stop pedalling Smile
