Awesome news just published yesterday! VeloNews reports:
After two years of speculation, a new eight-day Colorado stage race is set to roll out in August or September 2011.
According sources that spoke with VeloNews on the condition of anonymity, the event will debut next year as an eight-day UCI stage race, following a schedule similar to that of the now-defunct Tour of Missouri.

This is what an airport terminal should look like. I love the European-style outside platforms for the FasTrack trains.

I didn’t know this jet could hover like a Harrier. But for $112 million, it probably should? The coolest feature is the heads-up display inside the helmet instead of on top of the dashboard. The pilot simply looks down (as if the plane wasn’t there), and the pilot sees what’s beneath him. Incredible.
