We have a chance to have an indoor
cycling track included in a new Rec Centre proposed in Edmonton. Having a track at this proposed high-profile facility means
cycling is more in the public eye, more visible, and more respected by regular
Albertans.
That helps ALL cyclists, whether you BMX, mountain bike, tour, commute, road
race, or just love bikes.
Please ask anyone who supports cycling to send the City of Edmonton a very
short online question form so they hear from
cyclists:

Question 4 is the important one.
They can check "I support this concept with the following
suggestions________"
and fill the blank with something like "Yes it is important to include
a year-round cycling track".
We try NOT to use the “V word” (velodrome). It is easier for the public to
understand and support a “TRACK”.
Non-residents can help - fill out Question 1: Other_______
and write something like: "I live in (Calgary or Grande Prairie or _____)
and want to come to Edmonton to use a cycling track. This will help the city
will see the value! Thank you!

so you and your friends are in the loop.
P.S.: If you are into TRIATHLON, think of the
potential:
The centre that could have a cycling track is next to the Coronation POOL, and
the Groat RUNNING trail to the River Valley – NEED I SAY MORE?
And... WINTER TRAINING!
