Also, did you see this? The proposed Chicago Olympics road racing course, from Madison to Blue Mounds.
They didn't get it, but I don't like the course selection.

State street through Campus Drive and University Ave? How ugly and disgusting is that? I've done that route thousands of times on a scooter or in a car. Just fugly.

They would have been much better off making a case for the epic hills around Dodgville or using the 'Dairyland Dare' or 'Horrible Hilly Hundred' routes. Jeez, even going up into Door County, or anywhere but that dreary stretch from State ST across Univ. Ave.

I still can't believe that was a proposed route for an Olympics road course. Thank goodness Chicago didn't get the bid!
