China: Thousand Island 160km Road Race
Last week the much awaited event of the year in China was staged and for the first time in 2012, the course was raced around the circumference of the Thousand Island Lake (dotted with thousands of small islands!).

Everytime I get out on the bike, whether its training or racing, its like playing a game of Frogger. You have to be on your absolute alert at all times to survive here in what seems to be a bizzare set of rules that are employed by the Chinese traffic and pedestrians. When you survey [...]

SHANGHAI, China—Despite air traffic problems in Europe due to volcanic ash that forced the delay of some European company executives, the Shanghai show enjoyed strong turnout with exhibitors representing thousands of factories from China and Taiwan.
