Re: Melbourne, Hawthorne Valodrome?
once again, try posting on the Bicycle Vic forum, coz I think there are quite few Hawthorn guys on there that should know
http://www.bv.com.au/forums/ The Hawthorn track ain't too great -- it has hills in it  It's pretty small, too -- I'd say less than 250m |

Looks like a good forum but might take over 7 days to complete my registration. Is there a bump in it as well? |

There's a just a couple of very small humps -- not too bad, but probably bad enough to make them not up to club standard, in my opinion. I reckon there's also a slight rise on the southern side, and a corresponding dip on the north side. And a lot of it has no fence! |

Re: Melbourne, Hawthorne Valodrome?
It's more a fun sort of velodrome, rather than a serious facility. On the other hand, Carnegie velodrome at Packer Park is excellent.
