A mini-marvel, the Red Bull Mini Drome – a 25m, one-tenth scale, fully rideable velodrome – is heading for Scotland. To be exact the track, which was designed and built in Germany by renown manufacturers VeloTrack, is about to make its appearance at Barrowland Ballroom, Glasgow on Saturday June 25, with qualifying events for 100 fixed-gear bikes between 2 and 6pm and the main event kicking off at 7pm. The track, which can be broken down into 180 pieces for easy transportation and can be reassembled in just 2 hours, was created using a revolutionary, ultra-flexible plywood and serves up a continuous curve, keeping riders on a perpetual 50degree angle whilst pushing them to speeds close to 50mph.
The event is free to all members of the public, but will be on a first come first served basis so Cyclo suggests you arrive in good time to avoid disappointment. For more details, and to see where the Mini Drome will be heading next, visit: www.redbull.co.uk
