Chris Boardman, distinguished Olympian and road racer, embarks on a tour of Derbyshire, Greater Manchester and Lancashire to discover how, in the last 20 years, this area has become a hub for UK cycling. Along the way he meets up with former Paralympic and World Champion Sarah Storey, track and road legend Rob Hayles and retired UCI president Brian Cookson. But the North West has more to it than just a velodrome. From humble cafe stops, legendary frame builders, Iconic bikes and Gold medal winners of the past and, hopefully the future. It’s not just coincidence that has turned the north east into a cycling heartland.

Nice love from India
Another excellent GCN+ film. I do love Chris Boardman’s style of presenting. 👍🚴
Is Cumbria not in the North West anymore?
I have a question. Arey they possible german subtitles for GCN + films? And if not yet, will it be in the future? Thank you, have a nice day.
When will it be possible to download gcn + films to watch offline? It’s really a feature the service misses
I do not understand why limited the documentaries to GCN+ when it is only available to handful of countries. Due to limitation of live races broadcast on GCN+, I am missing documentaries out.
Disappointed that you didn't come to the Lake District. Last time I checked it's in the North West.
