Tom The classes are $30 and bike rental is $10. There are two classes required to ride the track, and the third class required to race. I got this info off the internet: Seasonal passes for everyone else will be $200, or $175 for Detroit residents. The daily pass will be $20 (or $15 for Detroiters), plus $10 to rent a mandatory track bike. There also will be 10-visit packages for $100 or $75. They will have a liquor license soon and will eventually have some light foods for spectators. It'll be a fun place to hang out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedalphile Posted February 2, 2018 Share #12 Posted February 2, 2018 I'd need to ride the derney bike so as not to embarrass myself too much, nor slow things down. I see that's a strictly for training dome, I see no spectator seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly its standing room only, there capacity for 980 people. During opening weekend, both nights were pretty much full. There's suites (couch areas around the edge) and, while you can't see it, entire perimeter of the track has a walk way to watch. So I found this pic.

That's the same as our local velodrome. I crashed during the first class and ended up in the ER. Never did go back to finish. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
