Torbay's new Velopark will get its first use at the Torbay Cycling Festival on Sunday June 1.

The £850,000 park is Devon and Cornwall's only closed-road cycling facility and includes changing rooms, bike hire, bike storage and a food/drink stall. The tarmac loop can be shortened to 0.5km from its full length of 1.5km depending on the event. British Cycling funded 50 per cent of the park's costs.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
