I was doing a little Sunday surfing and found this neat velodrome in California. Just imagine a large scale velodrome in Salt Lake... If you build it, they will come. Here is the quote from their site.
"Welcome to the Home Depot Center Velodrome located on 125-acre Home Depot Center Complex in Carson, California, near Los Angeles, CA. The Home Depot Center Velodrome is a 100,000 square foot, $15 million specially designed 250 meter indoor wood bicycle racing track. The Home Depot Center Velodrome is also a part of the United States Olympic training centers. The velodrome is open to the public during specified hours. See calendar for details. The Home Depot Center Velodrome will host training and competition under the guidance of USACycling, including state, national, world cup, and world championship events.
The Home Depot Center Velodrome, America's largest indoor velodrome, is committed to the growth of the sport of cycling. Youth, beginner, intermediate, and advanced training programs are available to those curious about riding the velodrome all the way to aspiring Olympic and World Championship athletes."
Stop driving, start cycling.
Great news for you and the rest of Utah!!

I noticed the Draper Velodrome is going to be an outdoor one. What's the word on the Ogden Velodrome? I know they planned to make it indoor Olympic Specs
ReplyDeleteIm super glad to hear Draper is getting one! I had no idea. I also don't know about Ogden either, they've been in the planning stages for quite some time...
