ASK A TOUR LEADER: CORE TRAINING FOR CYCLISTS.
It’s hard not to have heard about core training. But what is it and how exactly does it benefit cyclists? Our core is not what we typically think of – it’s not just your abdominal muscles or having a flat stomach. Your core is a group of muscles that form a band around your […]

ASK A TOUR LEADER: TOURING DURING THE OFF SEASON.
For many of us, the days are getting shorter and cooler, and thoughts are turning to things other than bicycle touring. Why not make this the year to try something different and go on an off-season bike trip? Yes, the days will be shorter and the weather will be tougher. The flip side is […]

RED WHEELS, GREEN APPLES & PERFECT PIE RECIPE.

LET’S GET COMFORTABLE.
My Journey to Saddle Comfort. I can vividly remember my very first rides in 1999. I had signed up to train and ride 100 miles in Lake Tahoe, and my saddle pain seemed insurmountable. Finally, I looked at my coach and said, “I can’t do this, the pain is too intense.” He looked back at me […]

Best of – La Course by Le Tour de France 2015 by tourdefrance I hate to say it but, as the TDF Peloton came into Paris this year it was a bit anti-climactic; the GC champion had been named and Sagan had the green jersey in the bag. That being said, La Course existed in complete contrast – it was […]

SISTER SESSION.
“Girls gotta start somewhere.” This film is important – for girls, women, men, boys, BMX, cycling, the world – this is important.

HEADING FOR THE HILLS.
I have always preferred the certainty of road riding to mountain- relatively well paved roads, intuitive turns with an occasional pothole or cow pie as the only obstacles to a meditative ride.

Hey Mister, your tires need air!
I make rubbings of tire sidewalls and I like to doodle — hence this very stylized tracing of the Schwalbe Durano tire used on my Valkyrie Tour. You can see from this that the maximum recommended inflation pressure for this tire is 115 psi and the minimum is 85 psi. Do you think it’s always […]
