The sport will continue to grow in our country for many years and it is imperative that we feed this fresh wave of enthusiasm. A new velodrome in Edinburgh could be accessed by a large population in the eastern central belt. This will not only promote healthy living but I'm sure the rivalry with a glasow based velodrome will allow Scots to develop a strong sense of competition. From this platform we can develop an excellent youth programme.
