Hi Roy,
Do you have a "track" you would like to sell? I went to my first velodrome last week at the Major Taylor track in Indianapolis last weekend. It is a nice, well-maintained track that is made of concrete and is located outdoors.
My son and I had the opportunity to see part of the US Junior National Track Competition. Nice track, but it is over 2 hours away from our house... anyway, it's too bad it not portable <GRIN>.
Does anyone know how many outdoor vs indoor tracks there are in the USA or know where I could find out?
Thanks, Steve Neago "Cruising down the road on a Raleigh, in Cincinnati, OH"
