Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle’s plan to discuss Chicago’s bid to host the 2016 Olympics could mean some cycling events are coming to the state.
Doyle and officials from Chicago’s 2016 bid will talk about plans involving the city of Madison and the surrounding area on Friday. It’s expected they’ll name an area near Mount Horeb and Blue Mound State Park for the potential road race and individual time trial.
The state is also being strongly considered for mountain bike races and could play a role in housing athletes.
