Today's Florida Times-Union newspaper had an article about the Dick Lane Velodrome in Atlanta reopening after a group of concerned cyclists raised over $200,000 to renovate the track. Not only that but they held the Southeast Regional Championships/Elite Qualifier today. It also looks like they need a few more bucks to get the job done correctly. Having raised money for other sport venues, I know they would appreciate any help they could get.
So now the closest tracks to Jacksonville are in south Atlanta and north Miami. 6 hours away either way you go. I dunno how much a velodrome costs these days but it would be great if we had one in Jacksonville.
Anyone in Jax have any info? What is the temperature of the cyclists in Jax concerning a velodrome? I think it would be a cool idea. Comments?
