- » A local name I missed from the UCI Track Cycling Masters World Championships: Jim Host (PACT/Dish Network) earned silver in the 50-54 2k pursuit, finishing 2.5 seconds off a world-record pace set by American Larry Nolan (Team Specialized Masters).
» The Illinois Cycling Association needs a few short-term volunteers for its election committee.
» Rahsaan Bahati‘s new team includes former ABD rider Ryan Baumann.
» Our reputation is spreading.
» Tonight is Half Acre Cycling’s women’s night.
» The USCF Board of Trustees will this weekend vote on proposed rule changes. Most notable may be new gear restrictions for juniors 16 and younger: from 52x14 to 52x16. Since this affects juniors, robust discussion is taking place on the Facebook.
» “There are not a lot of skinny action heroes out there.” Such is the plight of the cyclist. The New York times catches up with teen heartthrob Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Amgen-Giant Masters).
» Thanks to Brean Shea (Chicago Cuttin’ Crew) for sharing this story about night racing in Brooklyn.
» I expect to have 2010 road and cross calendars available at Sunday’s cross race in Northbrook. Just $15 when purchased in person.
