The story so far . . .

The idea of the circuit was the brainchild of Harry Reynolds. It was Harry’s vision to create a traffic free, safe environment where the club could build its next generation of champions under the guidance of a group of fully qualified British Cycling coaches belonging to the Solihull CC. Today, there are 6 such qualified coach’s in the club, ably supported by 2 qualified welfare officers and a large number of enthusiastic supporters.

Proposed layout of the circuit

The circuit is approx 850metres long, 5metres wide with a 6metres finishing straight down the middle of the top. The profile of the circuit is labelled as ‘testing’ as Tudor Grange Park slopes away towards the Norman Green Athletics centre.

The circuit is now complete and a full program of training / coaching will be rolled out over the summer/autumn of 2008 ready for the 2009 cycling year.
