After only 4 weeks on the net this track has found a new home  

The owners of the track are very happy that it will not have to end up as fire wood, but that it will still live a second life as a cycle track.  
The track will be built up again in a sports-school and will serve as a training and competition facility for young riders.

On July 14th 1998 the ministers of the Latvian Government have agreed to invest the money for moving the track to Latvia. It will be built up again in the sports school of Murjani, a small village only twenty minutes from the capital Riga.

The track has been taken down in Cologne from the 14th until the 17th of September, loaded on trucks and been transported to Latvia. On the 21st of September the construction-parts have been unloaded in the sport-school of Murjani and are presently stored until the final use.   

Unloading the Cologne track in Murjani, Latvia

The only thing missing now is the hall for the former Cologne track. Presently designs are elaborated in order to find the most appropiate and economic solution for a simple training hall.
