New Zealand's first indoor cycling velodrome is nearing completion and
will be opened in Invercargill by the country's Prime Minister, Helen
Clark, on Friday, May 26.
The $10 million multi-purpose extension to the successful Stadium
Southland houses the wooden 250 metre board track, plus a further four
netball courts. The facility also is the home to many of Southland's
sporting codes who have made the 'ILT Velodrome' building their home.
A cycling carnival, featuring an Australian and New Zealand series,
will be a feature of the opening celebrations. Cycling Southland's
development manager said the sport loving public of Southland were in
for a treat, with riders like Mark French and Nicholas Sanderson
leading the Australian challenge.
The entire Stadium is now a flurry of activity as it gears up to the
opening celebrations on May 26. Over 100 cyclists are expected to be
competing on the opening night with the second session of the carnival
being held on Sunday afternoon.
