Mr Marcel Corriveau, mayor of St-Augustin-de-Desmaures, a suburb of Quebec City, announced yesterday that his municipality has bought the Bromont velodrome.
In partnership with local businessman Louis Garneau, the city bought the Bromont track that became available when that National Training Centre bought the Atlanta Olympic Velodrome. Two other cities had shown interest in the structure: Rouyn-Noranda and Aylmer, both in the province of Quebec.
The velodrome, which will be installed next spring, was bought for $10,000 shared equally between St-Augustin and Louis Garneau Sports Inc.
It will be situated on the Notre-Dame-de-Foy Campus, which offers an area of 40,000 square feet to install the track. Right next to this already exists a student building offering rooms and meals. All this will be available to cyclists coming to the track for competitions or training.

Soma Grand Prix Criterium Series - Calgary, Alberta
(courtesy Marc)
August 8, 2000
Race Format - Regular - A and B group Combined.
Combining the two groups increased competition and resulted in the racers breaking into two main packs. Ten primes were divided between the two packs which made the race challenging for all. Early in the race, Jere Hu pushed through the last corner on the prime lap and over estimated his line and scraped against the curb. The lead pack of about 20 riders kept together despite the number of primes. Only once did any action occur and that was from Mike Beowmeester 15 minutes before the end of the race. By the next lap, Mike was caught by the pack. Kudos goes to Tim VanGuilder who was the only B Group rider in the top 5.
