Horrendous would be a better description. We used to go down there and camp in the infield for the weekend.....good times. It is a shame really...it is a nice track to ride when it isn't full of grass filled cracks. There has been talk of resurfacing but at $50k plus it hasn't moved forward.

paving is big money! 50k sounds about right, if not a little cheap.

Looks like the price of track bikes has just gone up dramatically really tho...that's not very bike forumy of you to hold out like that....unless it's just bull. hey cavit8....make sure to NOT tell anyone where that track is nudge nudge wink wink.

Crazy derny racing freaks! They make the forks backwards so you can tuck right in behind the derny.is that coming off the bars tho? looks like a brake cable or something but we know better.

Cavernmech & somnambulant have the transport so when ever for me. I can cancel anything (not that i have anything to cancel)
Looks like we need to do level 1 so it needs to be a Saturday & if there races or not doesn’t matter to me but would be cool if there was so long as we can get out there and have some fun.
Cheers
If i can bring my bike i will but will happily rent & happy to help with gas

Subject: Info....


Hello Mr Good:

I'm enquiring as to whether or not you have the capability to accommodate a
bunch of riders bussing in from Toronto to ride your wonderful track.
We're a bunch of friends in Toronto that love all forms of cycling, and
most
are fixie riders here in the city.

We have a variety of skill levels from racers to velo newbies, so I know
some introduction to the track will be required. I can't speak of numbers
of
scheduling as of yet, but I'm trying to figure out how many people can
realistically fill a session. We'd love to be a party as it were.

Any information you can supply me would be wonderful.
Thank-you.

Andrew Mills


Hi Andrew, we can accomodate up to 20 riders in a session. Fee is $20 for
the session (usually 2hours min.) and $10.00 bike rental. Look at the
calander on the site pick a Saturday that has racing at night and make
arrangements to come on down and have a "Blast"

Just let us know the numbers and date.
rg
