A fitting farewell to 'iconic' Cheddar BMX venue
London 2012 Olympian Liam Phillips ensured an ‘iconic’ biking venue in Cheddar had the perfect send-off when it staged the British Cycling BMX Championships for the final time last weekend.
Hundreds of people turned out at Broadway House, on Axbridge Road, for the event and saw Burnham-on-Sea’s Phillips win the elite men’s race.
