ContentGreetings Speaker Cargill- I would like to see a velodrome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velodrome) built on the site of the old Stroud strip mall. It is freeway adjacent and right in between Tulsa and OKC. I would gladly take the short 45 minute trip from Tulsa to see cyclists race in one of the most exciting and grueling endurance competitions ever conceived. The amount of power that these athletes create is incredible. The spectacle of their endurance is second to none. I think that this facility could be a draw for cyclists from Kansas, Texas, Arkansas and Missouri. So give it a thought. Wouldn't you pay to see athletes traveling 50+kph, inches away from one another, no brakes and only their guts, steely nerves and super-human cardio machines to push them on to victory? Thanks, Andrew Maddox, cycling enthusiast
