We were at the Go Ride games in Bradford on Saturday and Mandy Parker the lady who organises West Yorkshire Track League at Roundhay park mentioned there may be a new purpose built cycling track (not velodrome) near York next year.
Anybody know or hear abot this?
Any of the Go ride chaps know?

Regards

Patrick

There is going to be a Cycle race Track at the Sports village at the University of York new campus east which is just near the Hull Road park and ride.

I went to take a look at the complex a couple of days ago the gym, swimming pools, and astro turf pitches are all finished now but there is no sign of the cycling track yet.

Its a closed circuit cycle loop for want of a better way to describe it part funded by York Council, the University and BCF. Kind of a funny shape and aimed at encouraging people to try cycling in a safe environment as oppose racing. At least it was the last time I saw the plans.
Hope this is of use?
