Track riding in Helsinki, Finland?

I'll be in Helsinki for the next 4 weeks and I need to keep my riding/racing fitness! Anyone know if there is an indoor track there? I noticed a bike club called Cycle Club Helsinki https://www.fillari-lehti.fi/cch/ but can't seem to figure out where they train. THANKS!

As ridiculous as it sounds, I think they only have outdoor tracks

Welcome to Finland. Indoor tracks are for sissies.

Seriously though, CCH seem to claim in their (Finnish) home page they have a chance to use a 200m indoor track of sorts. It isn't exactly clear where that is or what kind of track they're talking about. I suggest you contact directly their President, Mr. Pekka Siren (you'll find the e-mail link in their home page under the "Johto****a" -section) to see what they actually mean by that.

This might be too late, but.. I´ve been riding indoors this winter, the place is called "Lii****amylly" (located at Myllypuro, east-Helsinki) and you can go there with subway. But you should contact Pekka Siren.
