Anyone know where I can find a leather hairnet? Either an old one like I raced with back in 1975 or a newer version like I've seen on European pros?
I was at a meeting last night at the Home Depot National Training Center in Carson, California. The indoor, 250M, wood, 41 degree velodrome is soon to be a reality. The first international event will be the Junior World Championships in July, 2004. The UCI has even awarded the USA the World Championships in 2005.
The cost of the track is 13 million. There will be seating for 2,500. The Center covers 125 acres and total cost is 140 million. There must be a website on this. Sorry, I don't have the link.
Hope I get a chance to ride my Ron Cooper track bike on it. Thanks to Brian Baylis for selling it to me. I also ride his custom made Mako (titanium, imagine that), his ornately lugged Baylis Blue 650c road bike, and a bicycle he made for me. Wish I had kept the two Wizards and KC Cycles I got from him. I had a Carlsbad Masi he picked out and painted for me, but it got sort of bent up.
