Is the club going to have any organized viewings of Olympic cycling? It would be particularly nice to get to see some women's racing, since it's on TV even less often than men's. I don't know much about the Olympic cycling schedule, or what's going to be shown on TV, but would be willing to work on setting something up if there is interest and and some sort of board nod that doing so is OK. (If this is already in the works, hooray and don't let me get in the way.)

Women's Olympic Cycling on TV
"Hannah: From what I can tell the women's cycling (road race) will be broadcast on USA Network this Sunday, starting at either 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. (depending on which particular depiction of the schedule you're looking at). The other events don't seem to show up under ""cycling."" I found this out at www.nbcolympics.com."
