Nissan UCI Mountain Bike World Cup presented by Shimano

That mouthful is the official name of the UCI sanctioned multinational mountain bike competition series. See the the UCI website for the schedule which will take mountain bikers across Europe and Canada. Read more about Nissan's sponsorship BikeBiz.

The big news in bike racing over the weekend is that the Spanish doping investigation Operation Puerto disintegrated when Spanish judge Antonio Serrano declared the evidence was insufficient for prosecution. Discussion at Velochimp & Cycloblog.

In the meantime, drug-free cyclist David Millar retains the lead at Paris-Nice after winning the prologue yesterday. After Millar was suspended for two years for EPO use, he has reinvented himself as an anti-doping crusader. I wish the best in this mission.

I think of traffic congested cities as the domain of bike messengers, but they're thriving in a most unlikely place: Columbia, Missouri.

Be prepared for St. Patrick's Day.
