Phinney and Rubiera; Gone, but Always a Part of Team Radioshack

Like two bookends on a shelf, one at the start, and one at the end, so too are the careers of Jose Luis “Chechu” Rubiera and Taylor Phinney. It is with disappointment that we see these two great cyclists leave Team Radioshack. After 16 seasons, Chechu is retiring. On Sunday, Oct. 31, 2010, he raced his [...]

1984 Bike Tour: Day 40 - Running the Arkansas River, upstream

MAYSVILLE, COLO. - The climbing begins in earnest today, but we start with a long, cold, downhill after crossing the Silver Bridge, touted as the world's highest suspension bridge. The winding road takes us back down to the elevation of the Arkansas River.

Along US 50, huge red outcroppings of rock towered over the road. The river rushed alongside. We could hear it as we pedaled upstream on the gentle grade. Down here we could look up the valleys sometimes and see snow-capped peaks of the Sangre de Cristo mountains.

We stopped for snacks in Texas Creek and Cotopaxi. Several groups of rafters passed us, shouting and throwing bucketsful of ice cold water at each other. We talked to a woman who was drinking a cup of coffee to prepare for guiding her first group of rafters today. She was a little nervous. ...

How to secure your shed or garage and keep your bike safe!

This post was inspired by a fellow cyclist that had his bike in a standard shed not locked to a thing not even the garden rack, ?Stolen? £2000.00 worth of bike gone, by spending less than £50.00 to secure his bike a bit better he would of most properly still have his bike. I don?t know where you keep your bike but a lot of people keep their bike or indeed bikes in a shed or garage, unless you have these on your home alarm system, if you have a home alarm system that is, your bike could be easy pickings for any bike thief.

*Here are a few things you could do to slow down the average bike thief.*

Diabetes on the Divide

Tony Cervanti, 42 years old, has been living with Type 1 diabetes for most of his life. Over the past three years, he's been training to race the Tour Divide ? on which he'll ride more than 2,700 miles from Banff to Antelope Wells ? despite serious concerns expressed by his nutritionist and others. Racing the Tour Divide is a monumental undertaking for any cyclist, and a particularly dangerous one for an individual with his insulin-dependent condition.

According to this Kickstarter page, Taproot Films will be making a feature-length documentary about Tony's ride, but only if they raise $50,000 by June 18th. (They've got a long row to hoe, having brought in less than $4,000 as of June 2nd.)


Tony, who hails from Durham, North Carolina, is signed up for the Individual Time Trial category of the Tour Divide. He intends to set out from Banff on June 24th, a full two weeks later than those in the "Grand Depart" category, who will leave Banff on June 10th. And Tony's is looking like an excellent choice for 2011, because Grand Depart riders are going to be forced to take several detours and miss some terrific sections of the Great Divide, due to late-season snowpacks in the northern and central Rockies.

In his video, Tony admits to feeling tremendous pressure; almost as though he is carrying the flag for Type 1 diabetics everywhere. If he's successful in his endeavor, he will make history.

Best of luck to you Tony. We'll see you on the trail.
