How to get there:
Hwy 70 to Kingshighway exit. The Penrose Velodrome is in the north-east corner of Penrose Park @ the entrance ramp to Hwy 70 east.

What else...
Helmets MUST be worn @ all times while on the track.
Bring some food and water and maybe a lawn chair.
We have had issues with thorns in the past and even though we try to sweep it clean, bring extra tubes just in case.
