Levi Leipheimer Maintains 2nd in Catalunya 2011

Today?s 5th stage of Spain?s venerated Volta a Catalunya was about as mountainous as a route can be and still not be officially classified a full on ?mountain stage.? Starting in El Vendrell and finishing some 206 kilometers (128 miles) later in Tarragona, the route profile of this year?s longest stage had the [...]

The Dry and Dusty Road

By the time you read this blog post, I'll be heading to Baja, Mexico, along with gear-reviewer extraordinaire Josh Tack. We're spending the next few weeks exploring the area by mountain bike -- I'm especially excited to use a Tout Terrain for this adventure. Because we'll be traveling for long stretches that lack water, I've decided to devote this blog post to all the wonderful items Cyclosource has to carry your liquids (water? electrolytes? tequila?) on the dry and dusty road.


I'll be carrying an Osprey Hydration Pack on longer days where I need to carry a lot of water. I can't say enough good things about this pack. It's super comfortable, doesn't leak, and comes equipped with the magnetic sternum buckle for easy sipping access.

Other awesome options (modeled by the oh-so-handsome Ted) include our stainless steel water bottle ($15), our polar water bottle ($13), and our just plain Adventure Cycling water bottle ($3). And don't forget about our pint glass ($5)! Perfect for holding a post-ride cerveza or chocolate milk.

How many miles do you ride your bicycle every year?

64-year-old Everett man bikes nearly 12,000 miles a year

When my BikeJournal log surpassed 4,000 miles for 2011 in October, I thought I was pretty hot stuff.

Maybe some younger guys are laying down more miles on their bicycles, but I was pretty puffed for a guy adjusting to the realities of the 60s.

Then I catch this story about Dr. Art Grossman of nearby Everett, Wash. The 64-year-old doctor usually tallies just shy of 12,000 miles of bicycling a year. ....
