USE YOUR RIDE TO SAVE THE HERNE HILL VELODROME

The Olympic year is here.
You’re doing the Hell of the Ashdown.
We need your help to save Britain’s last remaining 1948 Olympic finals venue.
Use your ride to make the difference.

How do I do that?

Catford Cycling Club asked all competitors in this year’s Hell of the Ashdown to ride in support of the Herne Hill Velodrome appeal and help them raise up to £1000.

The Herne Hill Velodrome is the last remaining finals venue from the 1948 Olympic games. Originally built in 1891 it remains one of the best cycling tracks in the UK.

The campaign has already seen the track itself resurfaced and now, with your help we can start to create a scheme for new facilities and a bright future.

What does it cost?

We are applying for grants and funds from various bodies to Save the Velodrome but need your cash to continue our work in the immediate few months and to start improving cyclists facilities.

When and how will I see the difference?

The campaign has already seen the track itself resurfaced and now, with your help we can start to create a scheme for new facilities and a bright future. As we make progress with these we’ll keep you updated here and through our newsletters and facebook page. The race has now been run!

I’m in, how do I get started?
