Australian Stuart O'Grady became the first Australian to win the trecherous Paris-Roubaix bicycle race on Sunday, finishing nearly a full minute ahead of his nearest challenger.
Called the Hell of the North because of 30-some miles of cobblestones, many crashes and frequently inclement weather, this year's 161-mile race appeared to be sunny and warm, but still bumpy. …

If you find that strangers are a little less willing to offer a helping hand on your bicycle tour this summer, you can probably thank David Earl McCarthy.
McCarthy is a 53-year-old registered sex offender from Oregon whose bicycle touring trail has ended in Kentucky, where he was staying with a family on their farm.
The Kentucky family contacted police when they discovered he was cruising Internet pornography sites on their home computer. Authorities checked out his story and discovered he wasn't a retired Coast Guard officer and US Marshal from Alaska, but a sex offender with four convictions, 2 in Oregon and 1 each in North Carolina and Louisiana. …

If you want to ride in Colorado's Iron Horse Bicycle Classic bike race or bike tour this year, then you better sign up soon.
The popular bike race and bike tour through the San Juan Mountains between Durango and Silverton is being limited to 2,500 riders for the May 26-27 event. Organizers say 1,000 have already signed up at a rate 40% ahead of last year.
The decision to limit ridership is based on the safety of riders, the impacts on communities that host the ride, and law enforcement concerns. …

The Tour de Georgia, for the first time ever, will offer live video streaming of the bike race that begins Monday and runs through April 22.
That's good news for anyone who wants to see more of the race than the minute-by-minute updates from VeloNews and CyclingNews or wait a week or more to see the action broadcast on Versus.
The Georgia bike race will use the same Tour Tracker interface that brought rave reviews during this year's Amgen Tour of California. Viewers can get live streaming video, live streaming audio, live GPS tracking of the peloton and race leaders on a map, text updates from CyclingNews, and heart rate and speed/cadence measurements downloaded from a few chosen riders. …

Will another American win the 2007 Tour de Georgia bicycle race, set to start on Monday?
The US cyclist with perhaps the most to prove in the peloton is Tyler Hamilton, competing for the first time on US soil since undergoing a two-year ban for blood doping. The 36-year-old cyclist, busted during the Vuelta a Espana bike race in 2004, is leading the newly created Italy-based Tinkoff team.
Then there's Tom Danielson, who is leading the Discovery Channel team and looking to repeat his winning Tour de Georgia performance of 2005. Joining him is teammate Levi Leipheimer, who would probably like to prove that winning the Amgen Tour of California in February was no fluke. Discovery is also bringing George Hincapie, who broke his wrist in that California tour. …
