The Ivor Fund
Introduction
Hivelo is a registered charity which has raised funds for the development of the sport in the North of Scotland. The Trust is controlled by member cycling clubs affiliated to Scottish Cycling North.
The Ivor fund was created following the promotion of memorial rides in memory of Ivor Reid who was a well known and very popular figure in Scottish Cycling, particularly on the track racing scene where he was a prolific winner of British Masters championships. In 2006 he achieved his ultimate goal, a world champion’s jersey, won in the Team Sprint competition.
The aim of the fund is to assist young riders to access, learn and develop track riding skills. We know that Ivor would have quietly derived a lot of satisfaction from this legacy.
