After years of disjointed efforts to make Temecula streets more bicycle friendly, city officials are paying for a dedicated look at connecting trails.

Laura Trott is not about to permanently swap her track bike for a road one but the double Olympic champion insists a bit more fresh air is working wonders as she looks to blow away the cobwebs after an unforgettable seven months.

Not many had it better than the track cyclists, who left the rest of the world scrapping for just three of the ten gold medals on offer by the time they had finished delighting the velodrome crowd.

It was three months after becoming a double Olympic champion that Laura Trott broke down in tears but unlike in the velodrome last summer they were not of joy.

The 8th Annual Tour de Murrieta is now on. Cyclists finished the first time trial this morning, leading into a full weekend of races in and around Murrieta.
