We will be holding a Velodrome cycle challenge event at the Lee Valley VeloPark on Wednesday 15th December. The goal is for our riders to collectively achieve 2200+ laps… which is 555km total distance within a 2 hour time frame!
Here’s an interesting fact: Bradley Wiggins hour record set at the Velo Park venue was 54.525km which is 217 laps… for context this is an average of 16.6secs a lap. I won't say what my expected lap time might be, but I will let you know!
The challenge - From 1pm there will be a pre-training session, all groups will do the training to get a better feel for the velodrome. Then from 2pm the challenge will begin! We will be riding in memory of Aimee Stoffel, our much loved colleague and friend who lost her own battle with brain cancer.
