CW British news logo orange

AFTER months of uncertainty, the London Royal Docks can at last be used for circuit racing and training at weekends, British Cycling announced today, after months of negotiations with the London Development Agency (LDA).

The site is to be made available immediately. Riders will use the 800-metre tarmac airstrip laid for this year?s Red Bull Air Race in the summer. This is the first bit of good news London riders have had since the closure of Eastway a year ago, demolished to make way for the building of the 2012 Olympic Games Park.
