Top road cycling cities in US?

I was just wondering if there are any common cities or areas that are popular with road cycling. Like main places where there are lots of races and riders. I dunno, anybody got any ideas? Madison area maybe for one?

Madison is a good one, or at least use to be, same goes for Boulder CO, Portland OR, and of course I'm going to have to throw in Austin. 🙂

My guess, observing your monicker, is that you have had a bird's eye view of the entire country many times over.

Chicago and Minneapolis get high marks, as long as you aren't afraid of cars.
