Velodrome. Who's going ?
 

Hi All. It's that time again. Hopefully it won't rain on our parade.
C&V bikes are hard to get around here ( York Co.) I'm only
bringing 10 bikes or so, which is down from 15-17 bikes last year.

I hope to see some familiar faces on Sat morning !


Good luck, and happy hunting,
Johnnybee.

Who is getting one built in their town?

an Indoor Velodrome is what Bike Mad Portland Oregon Needs..

seen videos of the Manchester English one and some photos
of the one going up in London,

Pretty nice ..

I'm hoping to go for a couple of hours...most likely VERY early.

See ya down there Johnny. We're going to be going for a little ride after the swap, If you or you and your wife would like to join us, just be sure to not sell 2 of those bikes ;)

im going to san diego velodrome oct 31.

They tore down the local velodromes in Nutley and Newark a long time ago.

I'll be there with Zaph and Rob. It's been drought conditions for 3 months and whaddya know, rain forecast for next week. Hopefully it will clear by Saturday, but historically the weather conditions are awful when I attend the swap. Maybe I'll stay home for the benefit of you all?

:lol: Rob won't like that...I think he's planning on staying dry under your tent :)

Are you talking about the Trexlertown swap meet? Isn't that Sunday Oct 3rd? Or are you talking about something else?

Ok, I'm confused. Can someone straighten this out for me?

There's this on Sat Oct 2nd.

Are these 2 different events then? I guess Saturday would be the big day and Sunday more of a specialized swap meet?

Thanks

Going where? Doing what? What is this thread all about?

They are two different events.

The one on the second is the one at the velodrome...it has modern stuff, older, high end, low end...EVERYTHING.

The other has more of a focus on older stuff, much of it balloon tire, and it's at a fire station.

It's about a very large swap meet at a velodrome an hour or so north of Philadelphia. It historically gets good turn outs.

FWIW Chris Hoy won a Buttload of Gold medals at the last Olympics
much to QE2's delight.
He's now Sir Chris Hoy..

Its what having a kids cycle race development program does ..


fixie punx might learn what a Track bike is for..

Thanks for the info. I almost went to the wrong one. Looks like Saturday is the day for me.

My tent.... I'm looking forward to the ride afterward. I've got enough bikes, so hopefully I sell what I take
