I have enough trouble navigating the flat streets of Chicago!  That race is the bicycling equivalent of the Isle of Man TT.

For sure I would not do it.  And I don't normally get seasick, but watching just the beginning made me feel seasick!

If that's his ride to work, the ride home must suck!

He probably rides downhill both ways.  I knew I had seen that race before - here is a video from the 2011 race with no music; just the sound of the bike, some heavy breathing, and a cheering crowd.

I'm guessing there's more than one Valparaiso in the world?
