Swimming has a ridiculously low barrier to entry for participation. Maybe 2nd only to running. But, pool fees and running shoes may have the same annual costs. Pool fees might be cheaper. Yeah,...

OK. So, speaking honestly, if Alpenrose were hit by aliens tonight and insurance paid 100% of the cost of a new velodrome, your board would rebuild it as a 268.43m track? If not 268.43m, what...

I get all of that. But, if no one (the riders) wants to drive the Civic and what's more, it won't pass inspection (by the UCI), then why bother?

Again, my #1 question is:

OK. I'll bite.

Who is Dale and what info did he give the UCI that they didn't already have?

Why does Dale think that a 166M track is as good (or better) than a 250M track?

What Olympic trial...

So, I think organizers may think, "I'd rather have a 166m track than nothing!". I'd rather that they not settle for 166m because it may be less popular for being so short and steep.

Yes, the...
