Yes, we have a velodrome in the metro. It’s 333meters of grass fun. Located just NW of Lawrence, it’s been the site of the Kansas USAC Track Championship for the last two years. Starting Thursday 6/7 you can try your fixed gear chops at the venue. Each Thursday night (starting at 7PM) until the Championship on July 8th, there will be Show-n-Go racing plus the opportunity to take the Track Safety Clinic (required for mass start racing).
Check the rule book for full bike requirements, but it’s a ‘no brakes’, fixed gear (and slightly larger tires…it’s on grass) venue. Click on the Track Championship flyer below for directions.
