the Lehigh Valley Velodrome is about 5 minutes from where i work, so cycling is pretty big in the area...all the roads near the velodrome have cycle lanes on the shoulders and stuff....one of the people that sponsors the velodrome got with the county and build a cycling/running/skating park across the street, and thats where i ride....its a one mile paved track (although the map says 1.3...have to look into that) with various degrees of hills and a good mix of flats and climbs, with really only one big downhill that you can coast...in each lap, there is probably 4/10ths of the mile that are climbs, 2/10 are downhills, and 4/10ths are flats.
ive done a couple rides on the roads around the velodrome, but I enjoy the track so I can just put my ipod on and put my head down...no need to worry about traffic

click on Rodale Park and it shows a diagram of the path.
