€6.3m renovation of the Vigorelli to start this year

Milan has set aside €6.3m for a renovation project of the awesome Vigorelli velodrome. Only a couple of years ago the velodrome was approved to be demolished before The Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities stepped in to save it. Work is scheduled to begin this August.

LMNH Hip Flask & Holder

The weather is cold... maybe you need warming up in the hills, around the streets at night, or by the beech at dawn. Available here

"The 6oz LMNH hip flask is made of 100% Stainless Steel and is specially designed to carry your favourite liquor for many years to come. Just don't spoil your dram with any mixers; all that acid isn't good for the flask, (or your teeth).

With a high shine, brushed steel finish and etched with the Look mum no hands! logo and bicycle, this is a stylish addition to any bike; whether you have a racer, a retro fixie, or a hybrid.

Available with holder, you can choose from frame or saddle mounted:
- The frame mounted holder, mounts in place of your water-bottle cage, for carrying the other type of "energy drink". This cage is articulated to follow the curve of the flask, so your flask will only fit in one way round.
- The saddle mounted holder mounts to the rails of your saddle, and hold your flask securely in place. If you've got a bike without bottle mounts, or if you want to keep those spots devoted to your standard water bottle, then this holder is for you.

LMNH reminds you to drink responsibly and cycle safe."

The Marymoor Crawl - Slow Race/Fast Race

This is pretty fun! Riders start on turn 4 and are not allowed to cross the start/finish line until the bell rings. The bell could ring anytime between 3-4 minutes from the start and riders are teased with cash to the front. Riders are not allowed to interfere with each other, hold the rail, put a foot down etc.
Once the bell rings is a flat out 1 lap sprint!
