Well you can manage your own team in the major cycle races of the year.
Some of my mates and I have been competing virtually at www.virtualbikerace.com creating our own league.
Described by it’s creators as:
Virtual Bike Race is the ultimate in Fantasy Cycling Websites. Pick your dream team from your favourite riders in the ProTour and challenge your friends and family. Take on the role as Directeur Sportif (Sporting Manager), making transfers throughout the race, but keeping within the team budget.
Competition for the Giro are already under way, but you have 3 days to select your team before the start of the Tour of California. You have 5 transfers available and 1 more each stage, so you can change your team according to rider form.
Good Luck!

Recently some of the contributors to the website have been asking to include PDF files in the articles they write.
PDFs are a great way to store non-editable records, such as event results or meeting minutes.
You might know I’m a big fan of Windows Live Writer (WLW) for making postings to the site easy… I’ve found a plugin that lets you attach a PDF to your article.
To add this plugin to your WLW, go to http://plugins.live.com/writer/detail/insert-file-plugin and download an install the plugin.
To add a PDF file choose Insert>Insert File Plugin and use the dialogue box to choose your file.
When finished, publish the post in the normal way!
Publishing the documents this way means the PDFs are stored on our website and should prevent any sharing or security issues.

I’ve been thinking for a while that the club news articles are a bit hidden. So I decided to look for a “News display” module.
