Tylenol Improves Performance of Cyclists
Tylenol, the over-the-counter drug that Johnson & Johnson loves so much it can't stop recalling it, is good for something other than making people sick: it can improve athletic performance of cyclists-- a little. Researchers at the University of Exeter at Devon, England, put two teams of cyclists to the test, riding ten self-paced miles after taking either Tylenol or a placebo. The scientists found that cyclists who took Tylenol in the double blind study covered the distance in what they call a "significantly faster time": 26 minutes and 15 seconds compared with 26 minutes and 45 seconds for the group that swallowed the placebos. "Using acetaminophen," the researchers write in the Journal of Applied Physiology, "participants cycled at a higher mean power output, with an increased heart rate and blood lactate concentration, but without changes in perceived pain or exertion....These findings support the notion that exercise is regulated by pain perception, and increased pain tolerance can improve exercise capacity."(WoW!! 3 whole seconds a mile) I want some!!jj

Cyclo-Cross World's to USA
The UCI confirmed the host of the 2013 Elite Cyclo-cross World Championships, naming Louisville, Kentucky as the successful bidder to bring the event to the United States. Confirmation came today as the cyclo-cross world prepares to tackle this year's battle for the rainbow jersey in snowy Tabor, Czech Republic. Sources tell Road Bike Action that Louisville's competition was limited, at best, meaning that an air-tight bid all but guaranteed an American selection.

Heart Zone Training Book

Tracy let me borrow a book on training with heart zones and I just scanned it and am doing the finishing touches on it. Let me know if you would like a digital copy. I can put it on a CD.  The whole book is a small 9 megs file.  It is a really good read.

A really nice feature that will come with your book on CD is if you open it in Acrobat Reader (A free download at Adobe) you can search for phrases or words that are in the book and go right to it.

Fast around!!

Zipp Moving to Larger Facility in Indy
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (BRAIN)—Zipp Speed Weaponry is moving into a new 70,000 square-foot manufacturing and customer service center on Indianapolis' northwest side this July."Despite what we are experiencing in the national and global economy, there are great companies, like Zipp, that are continuing to grow and invest in Indiana,” said Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels. “Businesses are recognizing that Indiana is the place with a friendly environment for business and the new jobs being created by Zipp are evidence of that.”Zipp currently employs nearly 130 people at its manufacturing and design operations in Speedway, Indiana. Zipp plans to begin hiring additional manufacturing and customer support associates in the second quarter of 2010 in preparation for the move. Zipp's move will create 105 new jobs by 2013.“Zipp Speed Weaponry has its roots in innovation; our growth is driven by it. We are known for creating new products, and even new markets, within the cycling industry. Because Indiana offers an innovative, business-friendly climate with a great workforce, we decided to expand our headquarters and manufacturing operations in Indianapolis.

Velodrome Planned for Cleveland
CLEVELAND, OH (BRAIN)—Fast Track Cycling, Inc., a Cleveland-based, non-profit 501(c) (3) organization, has entered into a real estate purchase option agreement with the city of Cleveland to acquire a nine-acre vacant site formerly occupied by St. Michaels Hospital in Slavic Village. Fast Track plans to develop and operate an indoor recreational facility which will include a velodrome—a custom-built, banked bicycle track—as part of its mission to support track cycling and other recreational opportunities and promote health and wellness as well as youth programming. Cleveland’s velodrome will be only the third indoor velodrome of the 25 in the United States, along with those in California and Colorado.The project will help to revitalize the Slavic Village neighborhood as well as provide recreation, wellness and other services to children and adults. Current plans are to construct a 150,000-square-foot, air-supported dome structure that will house a 250-meter wood track, 75,000 square feet of turf field, 20,000 square feet of sport court and other amenities. In addition to cycling, the facility will accommodate a multitude of recreational and sports activities including soccer, track and field, football, baseball, volleyball, basketball, running, walking, among many others. Fast Track has established strategic relationships with Sports Facilities Marketing Group (corporate sponsorships), Edward Howard (public relations), GPD Associates (project engineer) and Vocon Partners (project architect).A detailed budget and operational projections have been developed. Overall project costs are estimated at $6,500,000. Fast Track is seeking naming rights sponsors, corporate sponsors, foundation grants, federal/state/local grants, and charitable donations from the cycling community. To date, Fast Track has been funded by a $30,000 grant from Civic Innovation Lab and other donations totaling $7,000 while another $45,000 has been pledged for the capital campaign. Fast Track is collaborating with Slavic Village Development Corporation and has received positive responses from the Mayor’s Office, members of City Council, and the Cleveland Planning Commission. Fast Track plans to work closely with various neighborhood groups including Sokol Greater Cleveland. “The sale and use of this vacant City Land Bank property for a Sports/Olympic-style cycling training center is a welcomed economic opportunity and major boost for Cleveland’s Slavic Village neighborhood,” said mayor Frank G. Jackson. “With the makings of both a regional and national draw, the proposed cycling center will cast a new light on Slavic Village by generating a sense of pride with benefits that will include job creation, business opportunities, health benefits and more.”“Bringing a velodrome and recreational facility to the Broadway/Slavic Village community will not only add an important recreational amenity for residents,” said Ward 5 Councilwoman Phyllis Cleveland, “but it will also bring in visitors and economic growth to the area.”“This is a terrific opportunity for Slavic Village,” said Marie Kittredge, executive director of Slavic Village Community Development Corporation. “The velodrome is a perfect fit for us, because of our central location, and our community’s commitment to active lifestyles and physical fitness. The velodrome will complement our two new athletic fields, the First Tee Golf Course and our Morgana Bike Trail.”The Slavic Village site is located at McBride Avenue and Broadway Avenue (southeast of the intersection of East 49th Street and Broadway) and offers proximity to all of greater Cleveland, with excellent freeway access to I-77, I-90, I-71, I-490 and I-480.

Wave of the future?

How about an internally geared road bike? Lower maintenance, trouble-free. Or so they say. Is this where technology is taking us? It is fascinating. Shimano and SRAM make these geared hubs. When I was younger I had a Huffy with a 3-speed Sturmey-Archer. It was referred to as an "English" bike.
