Video here is from the last night of racing in 2008:
Opening Night at the Northbrook Velodrome
Tonight was opening night at the Northbrook Velodrome and reminded me that I love track cycling. The races tonight were a 10 lap scratch, Miss-n-Out, and a 10 lap points. The scratch race was effectively a super short criterium on crack. A swarming pack and flurries of attacks created a race where I was never sure if I was off the front or dragging the peloton. Eventually, the final lap saw me sprinting from a few bike lengths behind a Cat 2 flyer and not quite catching him whilst being thrown on the line up track. Getting 3rd sucks, but it seems to be a theme for me".

Euro Connection #8
Some of our Midwestern riders are over in Europe giving it their best, lets see how they are doing.
USA Cycling writes:
A team of six represented the USA Cycling Women's National Development at the Costa Brava time trial and road race in Spain, May 8-9. The squad was comprised of Kaitlin Antonneau (Racine, Wis./Team Kenda), Jessica Prinner, (South Elgin, Ill./ABD Cycling Team), Coryn Rivera (Tustin, Calif./Peanut Butter & Co TWENTY 12), Kendall Ryan (Ventura, Calif./VRC-NOW-MS Society), Ally Stacher (Etna, Calif./Webcor Builders), and Evelyn Stevens (New York, NY/Team Columbia-HTC)
On May 8, Evelyn Stevens won the elite women's time trial while the team's juniors Jessica Prinner, Coryn Rivera, Kendall Ryan, and Kaitie Antonneau went one, two, three, and four in the junior women's time trial.
The road race took place the following day, on May 9, with the junior and elite women racing together. After breaking away from the field together, Stevens, Rivera, and Prinner swept the top three spots. Kendall Ryan led a chase group and crossed the line after her teammates in fourth-place. Fellow U.S. National team rider Kaitie Antonneau wasn't far behind, finishing seventh with Ally Stacher in 8th.
USA Cycling also reports that Cole House (Oneida, Wis./BMC Racing Team) is part of the Espoir (U23) team competing in Luxembourg's Feche de Sud, May 12-16 where Taylor Phinney won the opening 4.2 km prologue.
In the Pro ranks, Wisconsin's Mathew Busche (Radio Shack) is recovering from some form of illness following his ride in the Tour of Romandie and Illinois' rider Christian Vande Velde crashed out of the Giro d'Italia with a broken collar bone. We wish them both the best!

Four More Added To Nature Valley Pro Ride Rosters
For Immediate Release
Four More Added To Nature Valley Pro Ride Rosters; Next Qualifier This Weekend
Minneapolis (May 12, 2010) — The rosters of the Nature Valley Pro Ride men’s and women’s teams are more than halfway filled, with another two riders to be selected this weekend.
Sunday’s Bear Mountain Spring Classic in Harriman State Park in New York will be contested on a challenging 21-mile loop that includes a climb of more than two miles, with some parts reaching a 12 percent grade. This climb is likely to be the decisive factor in the race. The Pro-I-II men race 80 miles while the women’s qualifying race is 50 miles. The event is promoted by the Century Road Club Association, one of the oldest bicycle racing clubs in the nation.
“The Bear Mountain Spring Classic is one of the most challenging one-day races in the Nature Valley Pro Ride Series,” Nature Valley Grand Prix Executive Director David LaPorte said. ”The qualifiers from this race will be well-prepared for the new Menomonie Road Race, which will put even the best climbers to the test.”
Four qualifiers from the past two Nature Valley Pro Ride events have been added to the roster of each composite team for the 2010 Nature Valley Grand Prix. The 12th annual edition of the premier stage race on the 2010 USA Cycling National Racing Calendar will be held in East Central Minnesota and Western Wisconsin, June 16-20.
Qualifying from the Barrio Logan Grand Prix/San Luis Rey Road Race omnium May 1-2 are Brandon Gritters
(Williams Cycling presented by SC VELO) of Mission Viejo, Calif., and Emily Kachorek
(Wells Fargo Racing Team) of Sacramento, Calif. Kachorek is the wife of former pro Pete Knudsen, a Minnesota native who placed third at the Stillwater Criterium in the 2003 edition of the Nature Valley Grand Prix.
Qualifying from the Cherry Blossom Cycling Classic April 23-25 in Oregon were Sue Butler (River City Bicycles) of Portland, Ore., and Gabe Varela (San Diego Bicycle Club) of Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho. Butler has previously represented the United States at the cyclocross world championships in 2008 and 2009.
Previous women’s qualifiers for the Nature Valley Pro Ride are Kristen Meshberg of Lyons, Ill., and Monroe, Ga., resident Nancy Jones. Previous men’s qualifiers are Zach Garrett of Sumter, S.C. and Lawrence, Kan., resident Joseph Schmalz of the Mercy Cycling Team.
The final Nature Valley Pro Ride event is the Mt. Hamilton Classic Road Race/Memorial Day Criterium, May 30-31, in California.
Nature Valley Pro Riders who are invited to compete in the Nature Valley Grand Prix earn free entry to the race, generous travel stipends, team clothing, housing, ground transportation, and staff support for their composite teams. They also receive pro-level recognition before, during and after the events, including pre-race call-ups and participation in promotional and media appearances.

Weekend Review - May 8 & 9
We all know that the US Collegiate Nationals took place in and around Madison, WI this weekend and those races have been covered, but what else happened around the area? Let's take a look.
In Minnesota, where some snow did fall on Friday, the weather was .. well, tolerable on Saturday for the SIbley County Road Race. It appears that there were come close field sprints according to the results, and Brian Koeneman reports on his second ride to victory this year as well as his ingenious use of the neutral rollout to take a pre-race pee break!
Iowa City had the Black Diamond Time Trial on Sunday - no reports, no results. Did it happen? Who knows!
Isaac Holton has posted some excellent quality photos for you to look at HERE, check 'em out.
In Illinois, ABR had the Verizon Wireless Two Man TT, 40k of riding pleasure. Again, NO RESULTS, but XXX comes through again with a great read from Bill Barnes in his "First TIme in the Pain Cave". A pair of green horn Cat. 5's with no aero gear GET IT DONE for some great results. Bravo!
Over in Indiana on Saturday there was the Brookside Circuit Race and ABR had the Eagle Creek Criterium. Guess what ... NO RESULTS and NO STORIES available.
In Michigan on Sunday, there was the Cone-Azalia Road Race put on by the Ann Arbor Velo Club. NO OFFICIAL RESULTS posted yet, but someone took a photo of the results and we see that Paul Martin (Panther) won the Pro 1/2. About the race, Cantanzaro writes: "Sunday I had my first experience with the anomaly that is the Cone Azalia Road Race. The race claims to be the "Paris-Roubaix" of the Midwest, I wasn't really sure what to expect. Dudes showed up with all sorts of different gear: Cross bikes with road tires, road bikes with cross tires. crappy wheels, carbon wheels, etc... Long story short, more than 30% of the race was offroad on some pretty rough gravel/dirt roads." Tim Finkelstein summarizes this day nicely in his blog: I may of been DFL but I refused to DNF." Well put.
There were no races in Ohio, so that wraps up this weekend in review report! Read more...

2010 US Collegiate Nationals - Day 3 - TTT
Day three of the 2010 US Collegiate Nationals was a 19.5 mile team time trial just outside of Waterloo, WI but first let's catch up on the rest of the action from the criterium in Madison yesterday.
To learn who would be the Men's Division 1 National Champion, spectators were forced to wait until the very end of the day, biting their fingernails the whole time as each team crossed the finish line and stopped the clock. With still a number of teams out on course, Colorado finished with an impressive time of 38:11 and the crowd gave out an audible "Oooooo" as they beat Lindsey Wilson by a full 29 seconds. This was repeated again as Fort Lewis crossed with a blistering 37:32 , this time a full 40 seconds faster than Colorado!
Full results including the omnium results can be found on the USA Cycling site. It was a long, hard weekend for everyone, but WOW! what fun! Read more...

2010 US Collegiate Nationals - Day 2 - Criterium
Just a quick report on the Division 1 Championship now with a full report Sunday night including the team time trial.
As the riders came into view around the last turn to get the bell for the final lap, we were shocked again to find that just as quickly as those riders had escaped, they were caught again. So, now it's down to a one lap drag race. Who's got the legs to become champion?
Around the final turn comes the pack, all together until one single rider explodes from the front ... who is it??? Who is it???
It's JOSH CARTER from Midwestern State University!
What an emotional victory for Carter who was having a hard time holding back the tears of joy! Speaking with announcer Brad Sohner after wards, it was obvious that Carter was still choked up and this victory was especially sweet. He stated that he's raced on this course before, so he knew what he needed to do, however it was a shock coming from Texas yesterday where the temperature was 90 degrees. "Yeah, it's COLD here!" 
Josh Carter (Midwestern State University), your 2010 Division One Collegiate National Champion. More reports Sunday night after the Team Time Trial in Waterloo, WI, home of the Trek world headquarters. Read more...
2010 US Collegiate Nationals - Day 1 - Road Race
When Madison, Wisconsin was chosen for the site of the 2010 USA Collegiate National Cycling Championships, was the quality of hot tubs and laundromats part of the selection process? With the start/finish area, high up on Bluemound State Park, being shrouded in clouds the entire day, and a cold 40 degree rain soaking riders most of the day, hot tubs and laundromats were probably the talk of the peloton Friday as all the riders suffered on this brutal course in Southwest Wisconsin.
The men rode 72 miles or 5 laps of this 16 mile loop, once part of the proposed 2016 Chicago Olympic road race course that has 1,900 feet of climbing per lap. This course will eat a peloton alive on a nice sunny day, but on this day, riders were constantly succumbing to the very testing elements of late spring. 
Racing continues today (Saturday) on the historic Capital Square criterium course that laps around Wisconsin's state capital building. A fast, but not flat, course that can be tricky in the rain due to the off camber turns. Competition ends on Sunday with team time trials in nearby Waterloo, WI.

Fiber One Is New Sponsor Of Nature Valley's Collegiate All-Star Team
The six collegiate racers who earn spots on the composite team will wear their school jerseys but compete as the “Fiber One Collegiate All-Stars,” wearing team shorts at the Nature Valley Grand Prix in June.
The USA Cycling Collegiate Road National Championships are taking place today through Sunday in Madison, Wis. Eligibility for the special squad is based on the final individual overall (omnium) standings for female riders who are not members of a team that is already registered to compete in the Nature Valley Grand Prix. Each team member receives complimentary entry into the Nature Valley Grand Prix, free host housing, a support staff comprised of a team manager, mechanic, soigneur and massage therapist, team clothing and a travel stipend.
“The Fiber One Collegiate All Stars is one of the coolest programs that we have,” Nature Valley Grand Prix Director David LaPorte said. “Collegiate cycling is growing by leaps and bounds. This is a chance to showcase that part of the sport. It also help us connect the sport with people since the program resonates with the alumni of the schools that the riders represent and even with the alumni of those schools’ arch rivals.”
“I’m really excited to have Fiber One on board as a title sponsor”, said Fiber One Collegiate All-Stars Manager John Barron. “Cycling is a lifetime sport and Fiber One’s healthy lifestyles message is an excellent fit.”
Past Fiber One Collegiate All-Stars team members are a Who’s Who of young up-and-coming talent in the professional ranks, including: Kristin McGrath (Fort Lewis College) and Sinead Miller (Marian University), now both racing for the Peanut Butter and Co – Twenty12 team, Amanda Miller (Colorado State), now competing for Team TIBCO, and Erica Allar (Penn State) and Carla Swart (Lees McRae College), both now racing for Team Vera Bradley Foundation.
The 2010 edition of the Nature Valley Grand Prix will be run in East Central Minnesota and Western Wisconsin from June 16-20.

Tour of Missouri in jeopardy
Multiple sources covering this AP news report:
From CanadianBusiness.Com
Tour of Missouri in jeopardy as state withholds $1M from cycling race
By Alan Scher Zagier
Article Tools
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - Organizers of the Tour of Missouri said Thursday the international cycling race is in deep trouble and likely won't be held in a few months because of uncertainty over state funding.
"We've said all along that without the state, it's just not realistic," said Chris Aronholt, managing partner of Medalist Sports, the Georgia company that coordinates the race.
State lawmakers awarded the 2010 race $1 million from the Division of Tourism. The three previous tours received a total of $6 million in public money.
But faced with its own budget cuts of $5 million to $7 million, the tourism division says it needs the race money for more pressing projects with greater statewide benefit. And Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon, who last year temporarily froze the race's $1.5 million tourism allocation before changing course, doesn't seem likely to overrule the tourism commission.
The race was started by his predecessor, Republican Matt Blunt, and later championed by Republican Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder, Nixon's presumed challenger in the 2012 election.
"The state money is not going toward the race," said Tourism Commission chairwoman Marci Bennett. "I hope the race organizers can pull a rabbit out of a hat as far as corporate sponsors."
The 2010 race is scheduled to be run Aug. 31 through Sept. 6.
While the Missouri race has received some corporate support, it struggled to find a title sponsor to attach its name to the event and relieve the state of what had always been intended as a short-term financial commitment.
Similar financial woes have scuttled professional cycling races in Utah, Connecticut and Georgia in recent years, leaving the Tour of California as the country's only high-level pro event.
St. Louis bike shop owner Mike Weiss, chairman of the Tour of Missouri board, held out hope that the race can be salvaged by ramping up public pressure among supporters, including state lawmakers from both parties.
"This event was 'canceled' last summer, and there was a reversal," he said. "What we're seeing right now is a calculation. It just needs to be shown that it's a miscalculation."
Aronholt said that other states are prepared to fill the void if the Missouri race disappears
"We are in discussions with and aware of interest from other states," he said.
Race boosters had hoped to lure seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong and his new Radio Shack team to Missouri. Armstrong retired in 2005 but returned to racing last year.
"This is the only event after the Tour de France that could possibly have Lance Armstrong racing on home soil," Weiss said. "Why not Missouri?"
An economic analysis of the 2009 Tour of Missouri paid for by the state estimated about a half-million people watched the race and spent more than $30 million. Still, some state tourism officials have questioned the value of the race.
Weiss said the race has reduced its budget by $1 million this year and expected to collect an equivalent amount in private support.
"We have an event that is ready to launch," he said. "We have major corporations that are Missouri-based that are reluctant to commit resources because of the politics. It's kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy."
