The Redbridge Cycle Centre (AKA Hog Hill) is a purpose built road cycle circuit just outside of Central London on the edge of the Essex Countryside. It was constructed around seven years ago when it was announced that the Olympic site would be built on the existing Eastway Cycle Circuit (Beastway). The UKSSA were the first to contact Redbridge Council about using the facility and have had a good working relationship ever since.
At the request of Euros Title Sponsor Pavel Skateboards (you know who), here are some images of the track and race HQ:
