I was a cross-country runner, and hated running on a track. My first high end bike was a Novara Randonee, and I did some touring on it with my dad. I thought that velodrome events were boring because nothing went on on the track. After the Novara, I purchased a Kilo TT, and now I know I have the track bug. Now that I know rules and what actually goes into a race, I want to get into it very badly.
