Hi all,

Before the the infamous 1976 Montral Oylmpic Velodrome which is now the Bioshere, there was an outdoor wooden track in the Park Ave / Jean Talon Ave area. I believe it was near the Jean Talon Outdoor Market and not terribly far from Biaggio's Bike shop.

I remember going to this track as a small boy to watch my father ride. I also vaguely remember something about a fire that destroyed the spectator seating area. Does anyone remember the track or know anything of it's history ?

Cheers from Toronto, beautiful, sunny and hot @ 40 F today, 45 mile club ride consisted of just 2 of us.
