The Asheville Velodrome, located in Asheville, North Carolina,[1] is also known as the Mellowdrome, named after its gentle banking. The velodrome is built on what was once the Asheville Speedway race track, which was also previously a horse race track. In 2011, a full track was donated by the Carrier Family to the City of Asheville. The track and the surrounding park along the French Broad River became Carrier Park. The Mellowdrome is an official "velodrome" recognized by USA Cycling.
The
The Mellowdrome is open to all bicycles, both fixed gear track bikes, and bicycles with gears and brakes due to its gentle banking. In March 2018, a major renovation was completed and now the Mellowdrome has slightly more banking and is constructed with high quality concrete. The Mellowdrome is outside and open during daylight hours.
