In the September 2008 issue of Rocky Mountain Sports there is a brief mention of the 'velodrome' - a '138 meter track' - on page 8. This got me excited and I drove to the location today during lunch... Doors locked, no cars in the parking lot, but on the building there was a banner announcing the velodrome. So, I peaked in the windows and I saw nothing but an empty warehouse, a warehouse so small I could not imagine a velodrome... Is 138 meters adequate anyway???

Well, it seems like a good idea, but who knows yet if it will be built and, if it is built, will 138 meters be large enough for track racing?

Here's the link:

It will be (if it's ever built) really short, steep banks, and also very narrow. No passing lanes really. But it would have provided a great place to stay in riding shape throught the winter. I, for one, am very said that is didn't happen.

looks like the website still says opening in September...any news from locals?

New opening date set for December 1st.

Here are a couple of pics I took of the track. The plan is to open Dec. 1st. See you guys then!:thumb:

Looks cool!

I am afraid track cycling would result in me breaking my neck. Still looks like fun.

Oh ****
I was just looking for an excuse to go buy a new bike, now I have a velodrome in my back yard...
Pwnt, are you involved in some official capacity, or did you just sneak in with a camera? Do you know if there are going to be beginner/intro races or something like that?

No affliation. Just a fan!
