More good news from the FlyUp 417 Project crew in Gloucestershire. They are still on track to complete the bike park for March 2016, but the major (new) news is that the venue will now house the UK’s first Velosolutions indoor pump-track.
For those of you that need reminding, Velosolutions is Claudio Caluori’s (him off the World Cup commentary duo… you know, here) company. With his trusted team he has worked on some amazing building and construction projects in many different parts of the world. Who can forget the amazing pump track they built in New York city (see photos below)? Or this one in Thailand?
