[UPDATE: The US Bicycling Hall of Fame will be going to Davis, CA. But Greensboro did well to become one of two sites considered, especially taking into account Davis' rich bicycle history.]

Greensboro has long been host to a wonderful bicycle race, the Carolina Cup. It’s held each year at Country Park and draws pros from around the country as well as fine local riders. My husband has competed in the race, years ago.

And now we may become the new home of the U.S.Bicycling Hall of Fame. An article in the News & Record details information about that.

All this, along with slowly expanding bike lanes around town and enthusiastic local riders is making Greensboro quite the place for cycling.

Hmmm. Colorful jerseys. Snug cycling shorts. Strong calf muscles and thighs. It’s about time for my husband to get back in the saddle.

But that’s a topic for another post.
