Velodrome in Detroit Michigan
 
Great photos Tyson!
Did anyone take their wheel for a turn around the boards?

No doubt a few of us would have liked to but they have strict rules about bikes they will allow on the banked racing track. Our antique tires and such didn't qualify. However there is also a non-banked surface track which we were allowed to ride on so a few of us did take our antique bikes for a spin around the velodrome on that track.
 
Shame, but I guess those old rat traps could make a real mess of that expensive woodwork!
My local track is concrete/tarmac (but not roofed)

so hopefully I'll get a green light when it opens for fixies in March.
 
There is an outdoor velodrome in Bloomer Park in Rochester Michigan. Been to races there in the summer.
