No problem. I looked up "usa velodromes" on yahoo. I got a page that lists 18 velodromes and their locations: http://www.juniorvelo.com/index.php?p=7dice2833 said:Dave,
If you could give me the names/locations of the other tracks in the states, I'd appreciate it.
The only tracks that i have heard of are in Chicago, Kenosha, and Atlanta(i think).
Thanks,
Sometimes it`s dull to be out for 3 or more hours! I had two races on track this year and I wonder how anyone can train it every day! I admire that you find a motivation!rayner said:Just wondering because in my opinion theres nothing better than track.
Srry if I made it appear that I'm a track specialist. I'm not. In Australia track season is from November untill around february (where I'm from anyway) which is the middle of summer. Road season is all year to an extent. In track season when I'm fully training I'll have around 5 track sessions and 5 road sessions a week. Mixing it up and trying to avoid cricket balls, footballs and the motorbike when it stuffs up keeps things interesting! As they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and tracks pretty damn beautiful to me.Virenque said:Sometimes it`s dull to be out for 3 or more hours!

track racing is ace! it gets a bit windy when your going fast round corners but you feel like your riding on air when you go round the 43 degrees sloped banks, its ace try it!rayner said:Anyone here ride the track? From what I've read no-one does in America and I'm wondering why. You too cool for it, is it too hard or have you just not thought/heard of it. Just wondering because in my opinion theres nothing better than track.
topcat said:Yeah i race track here in England....i think the best one i've done is a place called Calshot in the south, 49 degree banks and only around 150m long, the adredline of going around there!
rayner said:Sounds pretty crazy! steepest in Aus is midvale speeddome in Western Australia (250m) (only one I havent raced at) at 47 degrees. Here I think its only 44 degrees (287m). You'd pull a few g's round the corner at yours!
