In order to determine if one of

We'll have Jacks' legendary No-drop ride, 10-miles out, 10-miles bike; there will also be a bigger intermediate and advanced group doing the 32-mile round

As of now the weather for Sunday looks good for a ride, but with the Livestrong Marathon and Half also on Sunday, the choice of routes is pretty limited, so south it is. There will be the no-drop as always and a pick group for either 32/38-miles and the un-escorted option of going to the 4-way stop at Kyle. Also, Tammy from Tempo Multisport has secured a good deal for future rainout Sundays. I

For most bicycle applications when we talk about torque, it’s as a measurement of how much we tighten a bolt or component. A torque wrench is a wrench that uses a beam scale, clicker or digital scale to tell us when we've reached the intended amount of force, or torque. Bicycle torque requirements range from 4 Newton-Meters to 50 or more. A single torque wrench will not work for that entire

This time of year it seems like you always need to wash your bike. Whether it is from rain or indoor trainer rides it seems like your bike is always dirty even a couple of days after a bike wash. Everybody knows that when you ride in the rain your bike will get dirty, but it can get just as dirty riding on a trainer from sweat and sports drinks.The list of stuff needed to wash a bike is fairly
