it shits me no end that i only found out about this several years after leaving WGC. the entire time i lived there (18 years, the whole time, 2 miles from the track) i never heard anyone mention it, or track cycling in general even once.
i bet my parents who still live there and have used the dry ski slope, driving range and gyms over the years don't even know it's there. they've certainly never mentioned it to me. you'd think local schools might have made something of it? but no it was the usual choice of football, rugby or bunking off to take drugs. what a waste.
