Have you ever tried riding at a velodrome?
For those of you who have, you know that there’s no other feeling like it. Spinning your heart out as fast as you can, maintaining control with no brakes, feeling the whip of the steeply banked turns in the track… mmm, yummy goodness.
As a Southern Californian, I am very fortunate to have two world class velodromes in my backyard: Encino Velodrome and the LA Velodrome at the Home Depot Center in Carson.
Where are all of the other velodromes in the world?
Funny you should ask because when I get any crazy ideas about leaving California, I always take a good look at where I can get my ride on in another city. A simple search for “velodrome” on Google Maps will get us what we need.
