SISÄVELODROMI HELSINKIIN !!!

Helsinki Indoor Velodrome

Yes, 'ish just got real.

It looks like it's really true, Helsinki will get an indoor velodrome in 2014, in Malmi district. A proper wooden 250mm all international standards fulfilling track. The hall itself will be a multi-use sports arena with handball, basketball and floorball courts, indoor boulder climbing walls etc.

The project is not officially published yet but we were given a secret private sneak peak of the plan yesterday and I can assure you that it looks super awesome in every way.

Track Season Begins

First Yksivaihde.net Breakfast Track Session of the season. Was fun again after the long winter but I sucked. Will try harder! Will push bigger gear! Will spin! Will MASH!

Zykkeli took the photos.

Lap At The Track

Here's your special chance to experience (almost full) 400 metres of the Helsinki velodrome with Miglos, who's riding my old Sannino Pursuit, actually. Kind of a virtual reality tour in a way.

Fun times with two Italian pursuit bikes, one Keirin bike, one Steamroller, one Aerospok, way too many cargo shorts, sneakers, skateboarding helmets and spokecards... ;)

Waiting

It is still like that. But it really should be like that...
