BIG SHOUT OUT TO ALL CYCLISTS

We need your help !

Dylan Archer was one of the cyclists killed in the Shoreham Airshow Disaster on the 22nd August 2015. Dylan's partner Alice, family and friends have started a crowd funding campaign in his memory. 

All funds will be going to the regeneration of Preston Park Cycle track in Brighton. 

There is just 9 days to raise a further £2532 to reach the target of this campaign.

Why do the crowd fund starters care about  the track ? 

Dylan was a passionate cyclist and was regulary at the track, he taught his sons to ride there and Alice (his partner) even though she was a late starter. Our aim is to raise money to help the track as a legacy to Dylan and his friend Richard Smith, who was also killed as they rode together that day. 

How will the money be spent 

The campaign to regenerate Preston Park Cycle Track  is in it's early stages and will have many stages of raising funds for different parts of the improvements to the facility.  We will be in regular contact with Rupert Rivett founder of the campaign and campaign manager.  All money raised will go directly to support the Save Preston Park Cycle Track Campaign. As the project progresses a fitting tribute will be found and dedicated to Dylan's and Richard's memory with the money raised. 

About Preston Park Cycle Track

The track is the oldest in the country and potentially the oldest in the world. Built in 1877 although it is the oldest it is still a great cycling facitly and with a bit of time and investment can be amazing again putting on great races and a realy useful place for training. 

. 

Recently the track wasn't able to hold racing, due to safety concerns regarding the track's fence. After a year of campaigning  with thousands of supporters demanding investment, Brighton  council supported by British Cycling managed to find the funds to have a new fence fitted at a cost of £300,000 

We await for the work to be done to fit the fence and are hoping that racing will recommence in 2016. 

The campaign doesn't stop there though. 

There is a lot more work to be done at the track to make it truely sustainable and a great place  to watch and take part in cycle racing .  

A trust is forming to look after the regeneration.

A new dawn is fast approaching for the oldest cycle track in the UK .
