Chicago 2016 Olympic bid; Road Race course

Is seven years too soon to plan on a trip to the Olympic cycling venue. Probably is as they haven't won the bid yet.

Tour of the Battenkill

I'm hoping this race catches on in a big way. Unfortunately the Tour de Georgia appears to have lost it's momentum but this race taking place during that same time frame seems to have lots of potential. It does seem kind of odd though that with all the people in the northeast of the USA that we don't have a connection here at PodiumCafe that is either participating in or otherwise attending this race. Somebody make a liar of me. Please!

I heart me some first person race reports.

It pains me to write this post because as I do it means that PopUp Rolen's Fanpost will disappear from the sidebar. In a couple of weeks time his report and and photos along with Albertina's will sort of get lost within the huge volume of other great but very different types of fanposts. What I would like to suggest, because I know we heart us some first hand race reports from our very own Podium Cafe regulars is that there be a section on the blog where we can find these reports and encourage others to participate and contribute race reports and photos. What do the people that populate PdC think?

Sometimes lazy can be green.

If your place of employment doesn't offer a shower and getting to work all sweaty etc. doesn't work. Then this wheel would be a godsend if you really want to ride to work. I hope this technology works, sounds like fun too.
