Velo City is an introductory velodrome racing series put on by world famous nyc bike messenger Squid. The series will make 3 (THREE!) stops in Michigan:

Mound Road and Outer Drive

9:00 AM to dusk
Rain date: April 31st

September 10, 2011
Dorais Park Velodrome
Mound Road and Outer Drive
Detroit, MI.
9:00 AM. to dusk

Now, last I knew, the Dorais velodrome is only a velodrome in that it was once paved, was once banked, and was once used by bicycles. There's a group in Detroit trying to restore it, and these events will help them raise money to do it. If you've never riden on the banked board, this is a good place to give it a try. The banking is low enough that you can ride just about any bike on it.
