New disability cycling hub for York Sport Village

The circuit at York Sport Village is part of a complex funded by British Cycling and York University as part of the Tour de France legacy from 2014.

The BC website reports that para-cycling sessions will run monthly from Sunday, April 12 between 11.30 and 13.00 and will be run by qualified coaches from Clifton CC.

BC regional development manager, Peter Root, said: “Having a purpose built closed road circuit and velodrome in York is a fantastic legacy from the Tour de France and the launch of this disability cycling hub is a great example of the growing number of opportunities for people with disabilities to develop their skills, fitness and confidence with the Go-Ride programme.”
