“As one of three indoor velodromes in the country, a unique opportunity exists to bring consistent programming to the local ridership,” said Mayfield, who brings experience as a track racer and cycling coach, having previously worked with both the USA Cycling and Paracycling National Teams. “I’m thrilled to share my experience with the community that I’ve been a part of since 2018 and do my absolute best to make a difference and grow the sport.”
