The NACT race at the mall (?!) this weekend in Boulder has been getting a lot of good attention for the cool state of Colorado... However after seeing the lap preview here all we can say is: Borrrrrrinnnnnnnng! Bring back the Mercer Cup! The NJ course was about 8 thousand times more interesting then this.

Just to show how messed up Interbike is a recent poll conducted by a big US distributor asked:
| If only two dates for Interbike were available in 2011 Which would you prefer? ( Sept 14-16 or October 19-21 ) A whopping 80% said the October date! WHich of course is a complete reversal of what the plan for USA's biggest industry show was going to be not but 2 weeks ago..... Have interbike in August | |||

This just warms our hearts... Louisville opens their cyclocross course.....Here
Safe money is on seeing more and more road pro's wading into the pain pool that is cross. With world championships on American turf in 2013, you'd have to be blind to miss the chance to get in on something pretty big

Just a quick update on the Poll, which is shaping up to be the closest yet. Milne currently with a 8 point advantage over Reuter.... Ironically enough both will be racing this weekend up in Maine.... Here
As a side note. For the UCI race in Maine this weekend there are currently more Elite riders signed up then category 4 racers.... Upside down world here we come!

Matt Damon has been linked to star in a movie about Lance's life....
It has been confirmed that he will be the narrator for a separate documentary about L.A. due out in 2011.
So.... no leg shaving required by Mr Damon just yet....

Even though the thought of objectifying the wives and girlfriends of Athlete- slash -Rockstars is terribly immature... We still think this site is pretty cool.
And because its CX season, we would love to see a cyclocross version!
PS: what the hell is Cancellara wearing!?

A while back, Strava ( an on-line ride profiling, training analysis service ) announced a contest where riders could submit there best rides and the winner would be given a pro contract with the Kenda Pro Cycling team. The winner of said contest is Spencer Gaddy, a 23 year old from North Carolina. Seems he's a sprinter mostly who has won a few recent crits in N.C. Interestingly, just earlier this year at the Fitchburg stage race, he could barely break daily top 50 in the Pro Cat1 field. So let's just say he's on a tear.... And on his way to Rockstardom.
Here is one of his best efforts, as far as Strava is concerned.....

Even though the very thought of testing a cross bike in the wind tunnel is Rockstar, we are guessing that this:
is all smoke and mirrors... A publicity stunt for C-Dale. No way Tim Johnson is wasting any significant chuck of time in a windtunnel

The poll is over, Thor gets crowned Rockstar for the week. Really though, he had already reached that title in everyone's book. Thor, if you are reading, leave us your post address and we will be sure to send some stickers in the mail for you.
Tomorrow brings another poll for your consideration.

This just in, Vegas will be back in Vegas for 2011 and 2012.....sheesh.....
Here is the body of the email sent by the show's director:
Dear Retailer:
I would like to thank you for attending the 2010 Interbike show in Las Vegas. With your support, this year’s event was able to attract more than 1,200 brands and 550-plus members of the media. As a result of this intense coverage the cycling industry was exposed to a global audience via endemic cycling media, along with prominent mainstream outlets such as USA Today, NBC, the Wall Street Journal and many more.
Due to the overwhelmingly positive response to this year’s show and the countless conversations we have personally had with retailers and exhibitors regarding the future dates and location of Interbike, we are reversing our earlier decision to move the 2011 show to Anaheim in August.
While we will never be able to achieve a complete consensus among the global audience of 24,000 people and more than 5,000 businesses that attend and exhibit at Interbike, at this point in time it’s clear that the industry prefers September dates in Las Vegas. Given that, we are announcing that the 2011 Interbike show will return to the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas September 14-16, with the OutDoor Demo taking place at Bootleg Canyon on September 12-13. The 2012 show also will be held at the Sands in Las Vegas September 19-21, with the Demo to be held September 17-18.
Thanks again for your support in 2010 and we’ll see you at Interbike in 2011,
Andy Tompkins
Interbike Show Director

Starting today, a weekly poll will be put up on the right hand side... Most of the time it will be all about who gets to be called a Rockstar for the week. Sometimes it will divert into other just-as-meaningful topics. There are real consequences for whoever or whatever wins each week. Some weeks, a charitable donation will be made in the honor of the winner. Other weeks, we will give away a Corvette to the winner*.... So vote away in all earnestness. This week we point the sawed-off shotgun squarely at the obvious with choices like Thor, Alberto, and Jeremy Powers....
*prolly not true

We've gotten a few requests for stickers since they inexplicably started turning up in Sin City ( oh, and also on the cutest pro female cyclist's twitter page )...
So the paypal cart has been set up on the right hand side. It's not necessarily permanent, as there probably are better ways to set up an online cart. But for now, we are giving it a whirl. All orders submitted thru it will be given the highest priority and will also serve to tickle us pink. Thanks!
