Re-opening of Herne Hill

Messages of thanks and congratulations have been flooding into British Cycling since the announcement that successful negotiations between British Cycling and The Dulwich Estate have secured the reopening of Herne Hill Velodrome, which stands in a new light since the announcement of London as host city of the 2012 Olympics.

To celebrate, British Cycling is planning a formal re-opening of Herne Hill Velodrome on Friday, August 5, with the handover of the keys from The Dulwich Estate to British Cycling in the presence of senior GB Cycling Team riders, British Cycling South East Division Officials, development riders and Velo Club de Londres, the new resident community club at Herne Hill.

A host of other officials, stars of cycling (past and present) and representatives will be in attendance. The event starts at 1.00 pm until 3.00 pm.
