  1. I lived in Auckland in the 70's. During this time I was a runner and went to the speedway with my Father. I was over in Auckland last week and visited New Lynn velodrome, where I often competed on the running track in the middle.

    I remember the New Lynn velodrome being concrete with lines marked, what I saw last week was bumpy tarmac and no lines, also the track looked a little narrower than I remember.

    I have heard that Western Springs had a velodrome and I remember the speedway having a bowl edge on the corners. Looking at early pictures of speedway there appears to be a larger bowl, suggesting it had been filled in.

    So whats the story on these 2 velodromes?

  2. wow i didnt even know we had any in auckland other than the manukau one.

    Where are the others? are they strict about what goes on (ie road bikes allowed?) do they cost?

  3. This is the one in New Lynn, its off Portage rd I think, you can see it from Wolverton st. (that's me btw)

  4. Nice MTB track.:eek:

  5. Use to be a concrete track. You think they could of done a smoother job of the tarmac.

  6. Just built this. Could it be used on the New Lynn Velodrome? Are there any restrictions?
