2010 brings new members

Happy New Year from the Salt Lake Velodrome Association.

Just a quick note to announce some new members to our organization.  Over the past few months we have been fortunate to enlist the help of some more people who are excited about bringing a velodrome to Utah.   They include Chris Humbert, Chris Best, Tyler Servoss, Jennie Wade, and Ira Tibbitts.   They are all cyclists and are all passionate about a velodrome coming to Utah.  We welcome them all.   I should also mention a couple of other people, Kim Kraan and Andrew Love, who have been helping us for a long time.   They both are very interested in the bicycle component of this, but also bring roller-sports expertise to the project as an additional sport component to the velodrome.

As an update on progress, we wanted to let you know we are continuing conversations with Ogden City and Draper City to locate tracks in their cities.  Sites are currently under study in downtown Ogden for an indoor track, and near Corner Canyon in Draper for an outdoor track.   The Ogden track is part of a multi-purpose field house that also includes tennis and archery.   The Draper track is envisioned to be more of a velopark with additional bicycle uses such as mountain biking, cyclocross, etc.

We are excited about the coming year and hope to make substantial progress towards bringing track racing to Utah.
