Langstone Technology Park Comes to the Rescue of Youth Cycling Club

Langstone Technology Park (LTP) has given a lifeline to the Portsmouth School of Cycle Racing (P.S.o.C.R.) by offering one of the car parks at the business park to be used as a cycle training track, whilst their usual facility at the nearby Mountbatten Leisure Centre has been temporarily unavailable since March.

www.psocr.com is the youth development arm of i- Team Cyclists' Club, which provides structured coaching programmes for youth and junior riders at grass roots level and has helped riders such as Dani King MBE, Jon Dibben and Joe Truman progress on to British Cycling's Olympic Development Plan.

The North car park at Langstone is selfcontained and following the satisfactory completion of a risk assessment it is now home to around 100 cyclists for their Friday evening coaching sessions.

Gary Medlow, MD at Fasset (Langstone Technology Park) comments: “Supporting sport at a local level is a key part of our social responsibility programme and this is just another example of how we are achieving this. The businesses at Langstone have been very supportive and the Security team is on hand throughout.”

Head Coach Guy Watson is full of praise for the new circuit at L.T.P.: "We have now had 2 trial sessions and all of the riders, coaches and parents agree that this facility provides a lot of opportunity to develop skills and fitness - we are very grateful to all at Langstone Technology Park for allowing us to train here."
