Meadowbank Stadium and Velodrome were built for the 1970 Commonwealth Games and both hosted the Games again in 1986 when they returned to the city. The training venue has been home to a number of Olympians, world and European champions over the years, including most notably Olympian Sir Chris Hoy, former world gold medallist Craig MacLean and former world champion Graeme Obree.
The Velodrome is 250 metres long and 6 metres wide and constructed of afzelia and menkulang hardwood. The banking ranges from 12 and a half degrees in the straight to 44 degrees in the bends.
