Sync these cycle dates automagically

The Quickrelease.tv calendar isn’t a static list of events, it’s a live feed which is available on iCal and Google Calendar. Sync your PC or Mac to this calendar and get daily agenda emails, dates on your cellphone and other fancy stuff that make static online calendar lists sooooo last century.

Bicycle Dates 2008 include all the obvious candidates such as the Tour de France as well as new or unique events such as the unicycling world championships, Iowa’s Big Wheel Ballyhoo and Italy’s restoration ride for heroes, L’Eroica.

Sync to the dates and they load to your calendar program. Any changes or additions are automagically updated on your machine seconds after I make the changes on my machine. Once you’ve sync’ed to Bicycle Dates 2008 you choose which of them you want to highlight with alarms and auto-emails. For instance, the Fred Whitton Challenge takes place in May but is always over-subscribed the day after entries go online on January 8th. The online entry date is already loaded to Bicycle Dates 2008 so all you have to do is set the alert on your machine. Google Calendar and iCal both have intuitive alerts settings.

You can also set up Google Calendar so it emails you an agenda each morning so you don’t have to look at your PC/Mac calendar to know what bicycle events are coming up that day.

iCal meshes beautifully with the iPhone and now Google Calendar does too. Both cal programs also mesh with standard cellphones.

A selection of the listed bike events are given below. There are many, many more.
