There's been some banter about the hallowed halls of government regarding the abandoned velodrome in west Jacksonville. Hmmm...
Concrete bowl, with about 20 degrees of slope.
I'm sure it would need some good old fashioned hard work to get it going again, and unfortunately hard work is not something that the cycling community is known for here in Northeast Florida.
It is a ways off from the main drag, but very close to the Baldwin Rail Trail and to the preservation lands purchased by the city years ago and now targeted for trail construction by the local SORBA chapter. The 'drome is also on city owned land.
Lets get to work!
