Three Pacific Northwest cyclists among Olympic hopefuls

Good luck to the 34 cyclists chosen by USA Cycling for the Olympics “long team” — the first step toward qualifying for the 2008 Summer Olympics.
Three make their homes in the Pacific Northwest. They are Kristin Armstrong of Boise, Adam Craig of Bend, and Jennie Reed of Kirkland. Reed, a graduate of Issaquah High School, also competed in the 2004 Summer Olympics women’s track event.
Pro cyclist Levi Leipheimer was an automatic qualifier for the men’s road race team, although no “long team” has been chosen for that event. The BMX long team will be named in May.
