Tour de Suisse ? Levi Leipheimer Laughs Last

The 9-Day, 1,245.9-kilometer (774+ mile) 75th edition of the Tour de Suisse is now in the record books. Traveling through some truly beautiful country, great old cities, serious alpine climbs, 3 countries, and numerous tricky switchbacks and tight turns, Team RadioShack?s members had not been setting many headlines. Sure there were some excellent performances, Andreas Klöden and Levi [...]

Share Your Information on Bicycle Route 66

Now that the Underground Railroad Detroit Alternate #2 maps are at the printer (coming to Cyclosource soon!), our thoughts turn to our next big project, Bicycle Route 66. Even media specialist Michael McCoy has been dreaming about the Mother Road -- it's infectious, I tell ya!

However, before we can begin the actual mapping process, we have one more big reprint to handle. In the meantime, we can keep gathering information pertinent to the route and you can help.

For the past 18 months, cyclists have been using our route-specific hashtags to report road construction and campground closures, praise bicycle friendly businesses, and communicate directly with each other. I've seen everything from alternate route suggestions to jaw-dropping pictures from the road via tweets.

In support of Bicycle Route 66, we are advocating the use of a new hashtag, #acaBR66, to make similar reports and observations. You can follow along with what's being reported via the hashtag, even if you are not a Twitter user. Simply go to the @acaroutes Twitter page and use the Search box at the top of the page to search for #acaBR66 (or click on the linkable type in this sentence). If you'd like to share more than 140 characters (the maximum for a Twitter tweet) at a time, we have a Bicycle Route 66 discussion in our Forum.

We look forward to embarking on this mapping odyssey with all the best information at hand.

This year’s shortlist for the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year award has caused Jeremy Clarkson levels of controversy for not including deserving female champions like Chrissie Wellington and Sarah Stevenson, but at least cyclists will all be voting for Mark Cavendish?That seems to be the theory anyway.
