RadioShack Owns The Podium in West Flanders

Recently Team RadioShack completed a sporting feat that went a bit unheralded outside of the relatively tight community that forms the cycling world and it?s rabid fans.  From 4-6 March TRS literally dominated the competition during the 65th running of the Driedaagse van Est-Vlaanderen in Belgium, that?s ?Three Days of West Flanders? for you non-Flemish [...]

A Convergence of Trails

There?s a place you really should see. In the high desert of south-central Wyoming, ?where the rivers change direction, across the Great Divide? (as sung by Nanci Griffith and others).

In these magical, mystical open spaces the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route merges with the Continental Divide hiking trail ? which, in turn, follows a web of historic trails: The California, Pony Express, Mormon Pioneer, and Seminoe Cutoff of the Oregon Trail ? as well as others I?ve probably missed.

The path of westward expansion, it leads from America?s past into its future.

It's tough getting there ... and worth every pedal stroke. You really should see it. And smell the sage, hear the wind, and feel the presence of those who came before.

We?re all going on a summer holiday

Well it’s that time of year isn’t it?  The time when we all head somewhere else in the hope of better weather and a change of scenery.  Up until shortly beforehand, I’d been faced with the prospect of two weeks in Cornwall without my bike.  However during negotiations of one sort or another, hubby performed a volte [...]
