Now this would be amazing. A group of Chicago cyclists and sponsors are in the early stages of planning what would be a world class cycling campus for the Chicago area. The campus would include:
- State-of-the-art indoor 250m velodrome track
- Outdoor and indoor BMX tracks
- Outdoor and indoor mountain bike tracks
- Outdoor cyclocross track
- Triathlon training center
- Wind tunnel facility
- Olympic-size swimming pool
- Running track
- Fitness center
- Coaching and educational facility
- Olympic development program
- Youth, beginner, elite and masters programs
- Community center
- Physical therapy and sports medicine center
- Sports retail
- Cycling museum
- Restaurant and cafe
- Health and juice bar
- Commuter hub
Like I said, the plans are in the early stages, and I'm not sure if they have a site in mind yet, but it would be great to see something like this in the city. An indoor velodrome in particular would be incredible. Their website is here.
