Olympic Velodrome Experience

Cycle with stars at the Olympic Velodrome

Since a golden generation including Chris Hoy and Victoria Pendleton led Team GB’s unforgettable medal haul at the Olympic Velodrome in 2012, these have been boom times for British cycling. Now, Gala’s celebrity cycling experience invites you behind the scenes of this iconic venue in the company of the biggest stars on two wheels.      

The celebrity cycling experience that leads the pack

Looming over Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park like an alien ship, the Velodrome is still a stone-cold sporting icon a decade after hosting British cycling’s finest hour. With our celebrity cycling experience, you’ll do far more than see the track. Invite an intimate group of your most valued clients and friends for a private behind-the-scenes tour of the venue. Then saddle up for a track cycling session with guidance from pro coaches – all leading to the flying lap challenge with your PB clocked by the in-house timing system.

By now you’ll have worked up an appetite – so join us in the Velodrome’s private lounge where a gourmet lunch awaits. Then comes the biggest surprise, as a GB cycling legend of your choice joins the party for a Q&A on their career highlights. You won’t believe the names we can offer, including Dani Rowe (nee King), Sir Chris Hoy, Jason Kenny, Victoria Pendleton, Laura Kenny, Evie Richards, Elinor Barker, Peter Kennaugh, Owain Doull, Callum Skinner, Philip Hindes, Lizzie Deignan, Kate Archibal and Jason Cundy.
