After nearly a year and a half of closure the Burnaby Velodrome was opened
for riding on August 20th. Mandy Poitras, Canadian National Team member
preparing for the World Championships September 25-29 in Copenhagen,
Denmark, was given special permission to ride the track on a limited basis.
Mandy will be training on the track for a few more sessions prior to the
grand opening in order to help make assessments for the final adjustments to
the track.

The official public opening for the track will be Sept 4 with a
meeting to be held at the Velodrome at 7 PM for any and all interested in
track riding and racing. There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony and
information on memberships, schedules and programs, and of course riding.
The Burnaby Velodrome Club has worked hard over the past year and a half and
has come to agreement terms with Volleyball BC and the City of Burnaby to
put track riding and racing back on the schedule.
