Recharging the Batteries

I'm out of the office this week recharging my creative batteries at an art retreat with friends. Yeah! (Thank you to my boss, Carla, for supporting me when I do this annually.) In the meantime, here are a couple of things to consider as the planning continues for your spring bicycle travel:

If you are planning to bring electronic equipment on your tour, take a peek at the two posts I wrote a while back on the subject: Keeping a Charge on the Road and More Charging from the Road. They might be a little dated so be sure to add your ideas to the comments for a current (get it?) perspective.

And, as you finalize your bicycle travel plans for this year, you might want to check our forums. There have been some lively discussions this winter on topics such as routes to ride -- on and off the Adventure Cycling Route Network, safety in the U.S. and gear to use when you're out there. I am happy to say, over the last few years in particular, we have attracted some really knowledgeable cyclists who regularly participate in these discussions. There is no cost to join the conversation, all you need is an email address.

See you next week!

Tour de France, Stage 2- How Do They Do That?

55,645 Kilometers Per Hour! That?s 34.6 miles an hour. That?s the AVERAGE speed of Garmin-Cervélo in the short 23-kilometer (14.3 mile) Team Time Trial contested on the streets of Les Essarts, France on Sunday. Team RadioShack, just 10 seconds back, were close to that speed as well. Given the perfect [...]

Amgen Tour, Stage 4, Chris Horner?s Climbing Clinic

Team RadioShack?s Chris Horner schooled the peloton at the Tour of California on how to power up the summit on Sierra Road at the end of the 82-mile (132-kilometer) stage from Livermore to San Jose, with a burst of power that must have left heads shaking in disbelief. While everyone was convinced that Levi [...]

Tour de France Stage 14 ? The Big One

A beautiful day for a bike race! Blue skies and nice weather (a bit warm) greeted the cyclists at the start line in the city of Saint-Gaudens within sight of the mighty Pyrénées in the south of France. The 169-kilometer course had a shark?s tooth profile and with lots of categorized mountains, a bunched-up group [...]
