Leading cycling retailer and manufacturer Ribble Cycles is helping budding cyclists across the UK learn more about where they can get on the track, by taking a look at velodromes across the country and where the most notable British cyclists have trained.
Like many great sporting feats, Ribble notes that the results of London 2012 and this year’s Rio Olympics came after years of practice, dedication and investment. From the first velodrome at Preston Park to the Manchester Velodrome, Ribble is taking a look at the finest velodromes the UK has to offer and some of the great velodromes of the past.
To illustrate its research Ribble Cycles has produced a map which allows aspiring cyclists to locate their nearest training ground and find out where some of the biggest names in cycling including Sir Chris Hoy, Laura Kenny, Bradley Wiggins and Becky James have all trained in the past.
Matthew Lawson, Chief Marketing Officer, at Ribble Cycles said “With the buzz around British cycling still circulating from the Rio Olympics, we think it’s important to show just how much the UK has to offer in terms of training space for cyclists.
“Whether it’s your first time on the track or you’ve been using your local velodrome for years, we hope this research encourages Brits to visit some of the UK’s finest velodromes where so many cycling stars have been in the past.”
