Lee Valley VeloPark on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park includes
the iconic velodrome, remodelled Olympic BMX track, a new one mile (1.6km)
flood-lit road circuit and five miles (8km) of mountain biking trails. It is
the first venue in the world to bring these four cycling activities together in
one place.
Mark, who is an Ambassador for the venue, along with Olympic
double gold medalist Laura Trott, was selected as part of the cycling team for
Paralympics GB at the London 2012 Games.
He said: “I do feel honoured to have competed in the velodrome and very proud to have raced and won in front of my home crowd. This ambassadorial role will help me to inspire many more children in their quest to achieve great things in sport and in life.
