BUDDING bike champs got the chance to race each other at an iconic Olympic venue.

Thrilled pupils from Clacton County High School were among hundreds of young bike fans to ride for free at Lee Valley VeloPark's annual schools festival in London.

They were cycling in the tracks of sporting legends Laura Trott and Sir Bradley Wiggins, who set his amazing hour record at the venue.

The Clacton youngsters got the chance to tackle track cycling, BMX, road and mountain biking during the action-packed day.
