Faster Velodrome

Faster Velodrome The project will be infused with initial capital and leadership by James W.

Many cyclists in Scottsdale working various angles to build a 250M outdoor, sun shade covered, velodrome in Scottsdale, and be fully operational and open to the public. After many years of various parties sincerely attempting to build a velodrome in Arizona, this page formalizes the intent to build a 250M outdoor, open-air track with the use of "shade sails" in summer for year-round use.

The obstacles to launching are great, but goals include corporate structure in the form of a 501c3 charity, to have additional funding via membership by the local cycling community within 150 miles of the track, to be located in north Scottsdale, and to be operational in 2016.

Great article on the state of track cycling in the U.S. http://www.theouterline.com/full-circle-cycles-in-american-track-racing/

Home » Outer Line » Full Circle: Cycles in American Track Racing The foundations of competitive cycling in the United States were built at its velodromes, from the early days of Major Taylor and Bobby Walthour, to the high point of the Six-Day racing era of the 1930s. Velodromes were one of the most…

Hello. I had a friend store this contraption at my house with the intent of finding it a happy home. It has been near two years now and it is still sitting in my yard. You know who you are you lame...

Good article!

Velodrome cycling isn't just watching bicycles go around and around. The races are varied. The racers are incredibly admirable, exhibiting stamina and fortitude from whom I could take a lesson, even if it's not in the cycling realm....

No new updates... still giving information to developer in Scottsdale that Velodrome could be part of their development. In addition, Tucson folks are continued to try and get bond money for their proposed effort. First one to get a velodrome wins! Whether it be in Tucson or Scottsdale, it will be better than driving to SoCal...

I get many requests for updates... unfortunately, this is not at a stage where there is anything new to report on a regular basis. We have talked with a developer and their current plans make sense for a velodrome to be part of. That is the current direction things are going. If that route hits a snag, the original plan of seed money being given by FASTER, seeking out support in the cycling community of Phoenix for land zoned properly, and financing via donation and loan would be next. Keep the rubber side up. James
