If you leave a little late for the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic on Saturday and notice that your fellow cyclists are all naked, then you've accidentally joined the wrong bicycle ride.
The World Naked Bicycle Ride is also rolling out in Seattle on Saturday.
The 10,000-strong STP cyclists will be leaving from Husky Stadium — at daybreak for the one-day cyclists and a little later for those making the 200-mile trip in two days. In fact, cyclists that dropped off their luggage early could be leaving from anywhere in the Seattle area.
Meanwhile, the WNBR cyclists are meeting …

Mid-race crashes continued to spoil the chances of some favorites at the Tour de France on Friday while Mark Cavendish won his second stage this year — the 17th of his career.
Britain's Bradley Wiggins (Sky) abandoned the race with a broken collarbone in a crash that cost many of the favorites — including Americans Levi Leipheimer and Chris Horner (RadioShack) — at least 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, Norway's Thor Hushovd stayed away from the disaster and survived to hold onto the yellow jersey for another day. He has finished in the top 10 every stage so far.
Friday's big crash occurred about 37km from the finish ….

The focus of the Tour de France seems to have turned to Norway as her favorite cycling sons Edvald Boasson Hagen and Thor Hushovd were celebrated in Lisieux on Thursday at the completion of Stage 6.
Boasson Hagen (Team Sky), 26, won his first-ever stage on Thursday while Hushovd (Garmin-Cervelo) continued to hold onto the overall leader's yellow jersey that he's worn since Stage 2.
Things got a little blurry for American cyclist Levi Leipheimer (RadioShack), however. He lost control of his bike at the side the road and “surfed” along a guardrail for a few feet before falling about 4.5 miles from the finish.
The crash caused the Santa Rosa cyclist to lose serious time….

Although the automobile was making headway in the early 20th century, many folks still used bicycles when President Teddy Roosevelt established the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge in 1909.
There was nothing in his executive order about bicycles when he set up the bird refuge on Lake Lowell near Nampa in southwestern Idaho.
Now, that all might change.

The 4th stage out of 21 may seem a little early for the Tour de France contenders to test each other, but that's what happened on a rainy Tuesday in the summit finish Mûr-de-Bretagne.
Scoring well in this early test were Cadel Evans and Alberto Contador, last year's winner. Not doing so well was Andy Schleck, who finished second in 2010 and was considered Contador's chief rival.
Contador (Saxobank), who has been languishing at 1:42 behind the yellow jersey, issued the challenge ….

US cyclist Tyler Farrar won his first-ever stage of the Tour de France on Sunday as his Garmin-Cervelo team took its second straight victory.
The 27-year-old from Wenatchee, Washington, crossed the finish line flashing a “W” with both hands in honor of his Belgian friend and training partner Wouter Weylandt who died in a crash during the Giro d'Italia.
After the race, Farrar said his friend's father told him, “Win a stage for Woulter in the Tour.”
The Stage 3 victory in Redon …
