    SAN DIEGO VELODROME TO HOST PREMIER BICYCLE RACE







    San Diego, California (February 12, 2001) Big time bicycle racing is

coming to San Diego.







    The American Velodrome Challenge, a nine-venue bicycle track racing

series, makes it's world debut at the San Diego Velodrome March 31- April 1.

Expected to compete are many of the country's best bicycle racers, both men

and women, in track racing's most exciting events.







    "The American Velodrome Challenge will be the biggest and most

competitve event to come to San Diego in quite some time," says Steve

Meiche, executive director of the San Diego Velodrome Association. "We're

expecting two days of incredible racing."







    Unlike road racing where spectators may see the racers only once, in

track racing all of the action takes place in front of the stands. And with

packs of riders turning laps at over 40 miles an hour anything can happen.







    Plus, stakes are high. Riders will be competing not only for cash

prizes but also for points toward rankings that assist USA Cycling coaches

determine future U.S. National Cycling Teams and athletes for upcoming

international races.







    In addition to San Diego, the American Velodrome Challenge will travel

the country this spring and summer to eight other velodromes. For more

information on the series and San Diego's schedule of events log onto the

Internet at www.americantrackracing.com





    The San Diego Velodrome is a 26-degree banked, 333-meter oval track

located at Morley Field in San Diego's Balboa Park. Since it's opening in

1976, the velodrome has hosted hundreds of competitions including the 1980

Olympic Track Trials and numerous U.S. National Track Championships. In

addition to competitions, the San Diego Velodrome hosts youth and adult

cycling programs and recreational riding which is open to the public every

Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. For

further information call the San Diego Velodrome at 619/296-3345 or point
