Full Gas Cycling founder Tony Gibb says “as times change, so must cycling. This Good Friday, the riders will be able to experience challenging and fair racing in a completely open field while supporters and spectators can buy very reasonably-priced tickets for a full day of fast and exciting track racing.”

The racing programme begins at 1pm and features over 100 riders – male and female – competing in a fast-moving mix of Sprint and Endurance competitions, including qualifying time trials, match sprints, scratch, elimination and points races. No fewer than 5 titles and trophies will be up for grabs.

Jeremy Northrop, General Manager at Lee Valley VeloPark commented: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be hosting this brand new event in partnership with Full Gas Cycling. Good Friday Racing is set to feature a unique combination of professional and club-level riders. This is not only a fantastic opportunity to support track cycling at grass roots level but it will also be a great day out for the whole family, whether you’re cycling mad or a first time spectator – there will be something for everyone to enjoy.”

Lee Valley VeloPark features the award-winning 6,000-seat velodrome where the British Olympic and Paralympic teams set the London 2012 Games alight. The venue now plays host to series of major cycling and non-cycling events such as Six Day London, the UCI Track Cycling World Championships and the Indoor Rowing Championships.

Ticket prices for the whole day range from £7 for under 18s to £38 for a family of four (with unlimited re-admission). To find out more information or to pre-book tickets please visit Ticket Master.
