CALIFORNIA GRAND PRIX CYCLING SERIES AT THE OLYMPIC VELODROME

The first meet, in a series of 9, was held this weekend.  Being
a first timer, I found the experience quite enlightening!  It was
great entertainment for an afternoon/evening.

Location is at the Olympic Velodrome in Carson.  Admission is 
$2.50 before 4:00pm; $5.00 after 4; $6.50 for reserved.  
Parking is FREE and close by.  The concession opens at 5:30 and
actually has good food, soft drinks, nachos and beer.

Listed below are the results of this weekend plus a press release.

PRESS RELEASE:

The Olympic Velodrome, the cycling venue for the 1984 Summer Olympics
is currently alive with Olympic fever as some of the top cyclists in
the world train for the '92 games in Barcelona.  Four-time World Cycling
Champ, Connie Young, heads an American contingent of young American
hopefuls who are currently riding at the Velodrome, while '84 Olympic
silver medalist Curt Harnett is among a group of riders from Canada.

While the high-banked track on the Cal State Dominguez Hills campus 
provides the most unique cycling training facility in the U.S.,
the 5100 seat facility is also ideally suited to host events like the
nine week California Grand Prix Cycling Series which began April 4.

This Velodrome is the perfect site to prepare for the Summer Games
in July, says Young, 30, a bronze medalist sprinter at the '88 games
in Seoul.  I can train whenever I want and stay competitively sharp by
racing in the upcoming Grand Prix against other international
riders here at the Velodrome.  It is an ideal combination that you
certainly can't find anywhere else in the U.S.

In addition to the high speed competition at the Adohr Farms-sponsored
California Grand Prix Cycling Series, each evening (Saturdays at 
6pm April 4-June 13) will feature a halftime that spotlights the Vans 
BMS stunt team and local LA bands like  World Tribe, The Chance and
the Electric Blue.

NOTES:  The U.S. and Canadian Olympic sprint teams train at the 
Velodrome on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10am to 2pm through
the end of April.  The Velodrome also hosts an Adult Cycling class
for anyone who wishes to learn how to ride on a banked track.  
Additionally, a grant from the Amateur Athletic Foundation has 
enabled the Velodrome to offer a free youth cycling program for
kids 12-18.
