Velodrome Locations

[VT Biker]

Does anyone have a complete list of where all Velodromes are located within the United States? Just a curiosity of mine. I know there is one in Colo. Springs and Lehigh Valley, PA; but what about other parts of the country.

New York City, San Jose, and LA_Long Beach Area.

Thanks for noticing!

We have worked really hard on the track database and more work is going into it as we speak! Mat Booth (formerly from www.trackcyling.info) has begun an overhaul of the database. Lots of good info being added.

Someone should mention the Velodromo Panamericano in Coamo, PR. 333m, concrete, 48 degrees.

[CrimsonKarter21]

Berea, Ohio will be getting two in the next two years, an indoor and an outdoor.

Hey FixedGearFever, you know you have Rotorua shown as being off of the Western coast of Africa, right?

That was likely a flaw in our google map integration. If we didn't have good coordinates, it put the point @ 0,0... or just off the coast of Africa. I cleaned that up a bit.

650 tracks (and adding)
74 countries!

No, that one's in Cuba. I was referring to the velodrome in Coamo, Puerto Rico.
I think this is it:

Do you have any detailed info on this track?

I think Colby Pearce sent me some pictures of it a year or two ago, I will see if I can find any info.

Hey Fixed Gear Fever people, do you know anything about an Austin velodrome? It's looking more and more like Austin is where I'm going to end up in a few months, so I'm particularly interested.

You're missing some Australian ones...

Mount Gambier has two velodromes - the one you've listed and a 600m tarmac track (D-shaped, horrible).

Also, in Victoria there's a track in:
Casterton

Laverton

and

That actually surprises me - I would've thought there'd be more in the States...

[terrors]

interesting that oz's 84 (?) is second only to France's 111. i think there is one in every medium sized town in France.:)

[Ray R]

Evidently bikecult.com has an inaccurate datum regarding the track surface at San Diego. It's not concrete. It is asphalt substrate coated with resin impregnated fabric to reduce rolling resistance.

If you e-mail Dave I'm sure he'd fix it.

Almost every second cricket pitch has or had a track of some sort around it here in Australia. Even more so in the state of Victoria.

[Terex]

Berea, Ohio will be getting two in the next two years, an indoor and an outdoor.

Cool! I'll have to follow and visit when I get back to Ohio.

I've heard rumors and speculation, but we hear that a lot. I tend not to believe much until I see banking...
