Hi there,

Thank you for your email.

Yes that’s a nice idea, to celebrate 10 years since 2012 London Olympics. Unfortunately as far as the cycling legacy is concerned (Lea Valley Velopark LVV) for CC Hackney, it’s not happened but remains a tantalising facility prospect. It’s been a huge disappointment. LVV has proven to be unaffordable to use so far and inaccessible to the whole community. Worse, management there have never been interested in talking with local cycling club leaders about input ideas and solutions  - definitely not with CC Hackney anyway. Therefore there’s nothing to celebrate, so we’ll keep looking forward and hope for the best.

Kind regards and thanks again,

Keir Apperley

Manager/lead coach Cycling Club Hackney (CiO)

Hi again,

Please see the circular email received earlier this evening from Lea Valley Velopark. A fresh start date with Better GLL at the former 2012 Olympic venue is finally happening. Hoping for the best and a change to something better for everyone there. Btw we at CC Hackney had been hopeful that this venue would also become an education centre for coaches and community development in general. Maybe now this is it - (cycle) sport for all.
