Subject: [CR]Death of a Velodrome

This is very sad. The Schöneberg outdoor velodrome has been torn down to be replaced with a furniture store ... hello, civilisation! The track had been out of use for about ten years, but we used to go there and race for the fun of it until the janitor caught us one too many times and sicced the cops on us. I've taken some triste photographs to share a before and after. The first pictures are from last year and the handsome chap sitting on the track is no one less than our own Mark Stevens. On the somber side the following pictures show the demolition. Dustin Nordhus and I jumped the fence to save some of the track for being shredded and will build furniture out of it for his bike shop.
