I live about 400m from our local Velodrome, it's an old concrete track, around 200m long (or a bit longer I think).
I had raced there when I was 13 years old (8 years ago). Only did the one race, I liked it and was encouraged to take it up by some club members, but never did (probably a mixture of road style bikes, shaved legs, etc. being uncool when you're a teenager).
Anyway, the local club has grown in those 8 years and they held a carnival tonight so I went up and had a look. Ended up staying and watching every race, absolutely loved it! Now I want to get into it! I asked a few people there and they said the track is open all the time if you are a member of the club that owns it (which I am). I'm gonna take my roadie up there and have a ride on my own before I go to a club meeting or training night. Only thing is I have to stay on the flat around the corners as my Road cranks will be too long and could clip the bank.
Anyway, looking forward to it, and kicking myself for seeing how fast the guys and girls I rode with 8 years ago are now!
