As Dani says: “It is fantastic news that the cycle circuit is now open. When I was first getting into the sport, I was lucky enough to have a facility like this close to where I lived, and it played a huge role in my development as a cyclist. With so many young people being inspired by the success of British athletes, in ten years’ time Odd Down Cycle Circuit may well be hailing future Olympic champions!”
