A pump track is a little bit closer to becoming a reality in Revelstoke.
A pump track is a circuit of banked turns and includes rollers and other features that can be ridden on a bike without pedaling.
Revelstoke city council has given the go ahead for city staff the enter into a contract with Velosolutions to design and build a pump track at Centennial Park. Speaking to council at its regular meeting on January 23, city parks and recreation director Laurie Donato said Velosolutions is considered the leader in pump track design.
City staff and the Revelstoke Cycling Association are proposing to have the track built to meet the Union of Cyclists International standards. The designation would provide the opportunity for Revelstoke to be included in the competitive qualifying circuit for pump track racing.
