Olympics in Madison, 2016?

I had been seeing headlines the past day or so about cycling events maybe taking place in southern Wisconsin if Chicago gets the Olympic bid, but I just now actually clicked on one of the stories--it turns out some events might take place in Madison itself:

The road course would begin in Madison, have a couple loops in the city, then head west for five loops and the finish over demanding terrain in the Blue Mound area; the time trial road course would be entirely in Madison; and the mountain bike course at the Tyrol Basin ski area in Mount Horeb.

This sounds like a great idea to me. Sure, it wouldn't compete with the whole Forbidden City/Great Wall mystique that the Beijing biking events had, but Madison and the surrounding area is very pretty. And the end of the article points out, correctly, this town is full of bicycle enthusiasts. Bicycle lanes, bicycle stores, bicycle conventions--Madison is collectively a cycling fool.

Even if it happens, it would be unlikely to affect us directly, as the odds are very small that we'll still being living here in 2016. Still, even if we won't be able to walk down to Capitol Square to see some Olympic cycling (which would be pretty awesome even if it is just cycling), it would be pretty cool to watch Olympic coverage and watch people competing on what used to be your home turf.
