After a long, long fund-raising effort, construction on the repairs to the turn 3/4 complex at the Dick Lane Velodrome have finally started. Many people worked many hours to raise money for this event, and now the beginning of the end has started. The DLV is expected to re-open in April (official date forthcoming, and dependent on the weather), and a lot of work besides the repairs to the track surface and its support structure still need to be completed. If you can volunteer, please go by the velodrome website for volunteer information and contacts. Of course, donations are still needed, as we the EPVA still has much to do to repair the facility after years of neglect.
It's the beginning of the end of a long road, and it's getting close!
Here's a link to the entire photo album. Check The Spin Cycle often, as I'll be adding photos as construction continues.
UPDATE: Welcome to visitors from Southeastern Cycling. Be sure not to miss my other DLV construction post, and please stay a while and read some of my other blog entries.
Hey Steve-The kids are excited about getting on the track. Jessica is chomping on the bit!
