2nd Annual Americane' Vintage Track & Road Bike Festival July 3, Rochester, MI
This is copy and pasted from the flyer info that has been posted on Facebook. I figured some people might be interested in attending. I will be there after I get out of work. I will be bringing my 76' Paramount track and 80' Viner track bikes to go fast (for me) and turn left.
The International Velodrome at Bloomer Park, Rochester, Michigan,
is proud to announce the 2nd year of this ground-breaking event.
The Americane’ Vintage Track & Road Bike Festival is a show, ride and swap meet bringing together vintage track and road cycling enthusiasts from around the country. Vintage bikes in multiple categories are invited, covering a full century of cycling. The swap meet will feature amazing collections of both retro and modern cycling gear. Look for that one-of-a-kind part at The Americane’! The show and display will give browsers and enthusiasts a chance to connect over vintage cycling equipment and bicycles of every kind. Get your tubular tires glued-up and ready for riding those classic track bikes on the velodrome!
Some photographic highlights by Tim Potter from 2009 ... the first annual:

This event coincides with some of the highest level, most exciting racing in the
nation, the UIV NAS-Track International 3 Day Series!

Wrong weekend for me, but I'd love to get my Legnano out on that track one day.
