Shanaze Reade BMX Track, Crewe

Remodelling the track involved moving the start hill to the opposite end of the course and creating a pro-jump on the second straight, while the third and fourth straights were reshaped to give BMX riders multiple options.

The BMX track is home to Cheshire Ghost Riders BMX Club, which offers training for all skill levels, from BMX beginners to elite-level athletes. The club meets three times a week to train and race. For more information on facilities and events, view The Cheshire Ghost Riders on Facebook.

Shanaze recently rejoined the Great Britain BMX squad after a period in the United States. The move will put her in the frame to compete in BMX race events for the 2016 Summer Olympics. The course was renamed the "Shanaze Reade Track" this is her local track where she started her illustrious BMX biking career.

The build time for the BMX project, on behalf of the Cheshire East Council, was five weeks. Clark & Kent replaced the starting gate and installed a Bensink safety barrel system. Several riders and countries used the track before the World Championships in Birmingham and as a training facility in the run-up to London 2012 Olympic Games.
