I stopped by the velodrome a few weeks ago on a slow ride on a Saturday. They have what seems to be local / club races on Saturday afternoons that you can watch for free. Definitely fun stuff! I remember back in high school when the US Olympic Trials were in town (1996) watching the Madison. I was totally amazed that they didn't fall off the bike during a "transfer" (not sure of the terminology, but definitely looked cool!). Round trip to the velo, around the Rodale Fitness Park track a time or two and back comes out to about 6 miles, which isn't too bad on the MTB. As for Spectrum cycles, I always wondered why the barn next to the Velodrome always had frames hanging from the rafters, and now I know why . Thanks for the info everyone!
