It is set to be one of the main events of an action-packed weekend – and you could be part ??of all the exciting action on the opening day.
With the Lowestoft Summer Festival being held for the first time this weekend, Channel Four's popular Street Velodrome is set to provide a unique and exciting opportunity to people in the town.
Teaming up with Lowestoft Vision and Street Velodrome UK, The Journal is today offering FOUR lucky readers the chance to secure a place on one of the teams in the corporate races on the Saturday afternoon.
This exclusive corporate racing package runs on Saturday, July 18, between 3.30pm and 6pm, including a coaching session for the riders, before taking part of the corporate races – with each rider having at least four races.
With bikes and all equipment provided on the day, each race will have a commentator and each rider's race time will be recorded as racing is split into round robin heats followed by a semi-final and final.
Street Velodrome UK will be in Lowestoft town centre over the whole of next weekend, July 18 and 19.
The world's only pop up circuit provides all the thrills of Olympic-style pursuit racing.
Next Saturday there will be a local schools competition and battle of the businesses, as corporate racing provides competent riders with a thrilling, adrenaline filled riding experience.
