Earlier today Kev and I headed towards Rhyl on our Sunday morning cycle. Following the excellent cycle path along the River Clwyd from Rhuddlan we came across the new cycling development in Rhyl called March Tracks (http://www.marshtracks.co.uk/).
As luck would have it the facility was being formally opened with speeches and a band. We even got the opportunity to ride the 1.3km closed racing circuit, although I foolishly went the wrong way round, but no harm done. There is also a BMX area and a proposed mountain bike track. A lot of money has been spent but they have created something really special. A few years ago the cycling community of this area experienced unbearable tragedy but today one senses a new hope that new people will be attracted into the sport.
Cycling racing is an extremely exciting sport; this new facility deserves to succeed.
