Cyclists at Wisconsin’s Kenosha Velodrome honor Don Vanderbrook, who died after a crash there last week
Cyclists at Wisconsin's Kenosha Velodrome will ride a lap of honor before a memorial race Tuesday evening in remembrance of Donald Vanderbrook, who died after a crash at the track last week. Vanderbrook, who was 50, died of head injuries when four riders went down just before the bell lap of a Senior Category 4-5 points race last Tuesday evening. "Four riders got tangled up and went down. It must have been the way he landed; it wasn't very high speed," race director Len Cabaltera told VeloNews.

Editor,Cyclists organize rides to remember Steve Larsen
The cycling community in Bend, Oregon, is organizing two bike rides as memorials to multi-sport legend Steve Larsen, who died Tuesday. A memorial service is planned for Saturday at 1 pm in Bend. The first ride is the regular Saturday morning hammer ride, leaving from Hutch's East Side bike shop at 820 NE 3rd Street, Bend. A friend said "the ride will hammer as usual. Steve would want it that way." The second ride will meet at 12:30 p.m., at the Drake Park Stage. The group will parade from there to the memorial service. All bikes and riders are welcome.
