Dick Lane Velodrome

The only time when having NO BRAKES is considered fun!

Constructed in 1974, the Dick Lane Velodrome was inspired by a group of residents and City officials that visited the Munich Olympics. Located eight miles south of downtown Atlanta, the Dick Lane Velodrome is a 1/5 of a mile and 36° banked concrete track for bicycle racing, set in Sumner park in a residential part of beautiful historic East Point. Dick Lane is the only velodrome in the world with a green space that contains a large oak tree and a creek running through the in-field. The City of East Point owns the velodrome and has a long-term partnership with the EPVA to manage the Dick Lane Velodrome, and continue its use as one of the premier facilities of its kind.

ONE LAST TIME.
Wednesday, September 30 is the last race of the season at Dick Lane Velodrome. And with $4,000 on the line, we’re going to finish this thing properly.

Not to be melodramatic, but it will also be the last night Wayne will be President, announcer, and wearer of many hats at DLV. After 30 years, he’s finally handing over the microphone and turning in his keys. Next year, he plans to be on the other side of the boards racing — and, we’re sure, causing a plenty of headaches for new management.

For this final night, join the team of Barman, Wayne, Gary, Elizabeth, Chuck, Jessica and Casey, who have worked hard to bring you racing all season. They’re teaming up one last time to blow the roof off the place.

(Wait. There’s no roof.)

Race. Cheer. Hang out. Make some noise.
September 30. 7–10PM.
Dick Lane Velodrome.

It’s going to be a little warm tomorrow. Good thing we added a little extra spice to the racing lineup to really turn the heat up.

The Fast and the Furious(ness) is back at the Dick Lane Velodrome's Wednesday Night Pro Race Series with short races, big moves, very little recovery, and a whole night of riders stacking points before the final Elimination starts sending them out one lap at a time.

And yes, the Marymoor Crawl is back too: part track stand, part guessing game, part full-send sprint. Somehow the slowest and fastest race of the night.

Come race. Come yell. Come sweat a little. Come watch some very fast people make questionable decisions on tired legs.
