The Big Velofete is a big new fundraising event for the Friends of Herne Hill Velodrome. It is a weekend-long event with races and activities organised by the many wonderful user groups that make up the HHV Community.
Throughout the weekend we will have entertainment provided by race events from right across the spectrum of cycling and beyond. We will play host to road racing, track racing, sprinting, tandem sprinting, road bike criteriums, fixed gear criteriums, cyclocross, duathlon, cross country running and drag sprints. There will be a little bit of everything with competitions featuring people from throughout our racing community; men and women, young and old.
If that's not enough, there's plenty of ways for spectators to get involved with numerous 'have a go' activities throughout the weekend as well as exhibitions, talks, signings and stalls. We'll also have plenty of food and drink on offer to keep you fed and watered throughout the weekend.
Everyone's welcome, there really is something for all!
