Perfect Training AND Weather @ Forest City Velodrome

ABD'er Pat Murphy has a tip for any riders looking to gain a leg up on the competition with some great early season speed-work — minus the cold weather and need for your own motorpace vehicle.

No climate's as perfect as the completely controlled one at the Forest City Velodrome, a beautiful indoor track that's open 6 days a week and has structured workouts scheduled 5 days a week (Fridays off).

Located on just the other side of Detroit, the Forest City Velodrome is a great training destination for any road or track rider.

Final Thursday Night Workout Pics

Be sure to check out the photos from Rich "the Sarge" Mstowski's final Thursday night workout of 2007! (ABDcycling.com > Home > Photos) Rich cooked up a special 90-minute suffer-fest for all those who dared to attend.

Thanks to the Winfield Middle School for hosting the event, to the Cerwin's for running "CycleOps Delivery", to all the riders who came out and pushed each other and most importantly, to the Sarge for another round of great Winter workouts.
