Here is a look at a video from an event that really means a lot to myself and many of other cyclists here in Victoria, BC, the re-opening of the Commonwealth Legacy Velodrome. Victoria hosted the Commonwealth Games back in 1994 and for the games the city built one of only a few velodromes in all of Canada. I was lucky enough to attend a few races at the Games and it was amazing to watch. The velodrome housed our track community here up until 2008 and then was closed due to safety concerns and general neglect. Over the last few years the cycling community and velodrome association was fighting to bring it back, and with a lot of effort and support they were fortunate enough to get it back in action. The grand re-opening was on July 29th and I was there to show my support, as was Brian Park who put together this great video from the opening night. Thanks to all those who came out to support!
