The Leadville Trail 100 MTB presents a challenge few mountain bike races can match: 100 miles of demanding terrain at elevations reaching more than 12,000 feet. Successful Leadville 100 preparation requires more than training and race-day fueling—it also means understanding how altitude affects hydration, iron requirements and exercise performance. After supporting athletes earlier this season […]

The Wahoo ELEMNT ACE is big, and it’s relatively heavy (208g), but for that arguably negligible weight difference, you get genuine usability. Setup is fast and intuitive, and having both physical buttons and a responsive touchscreen means you’re never stuck fumbling with one input method in bad conditions. Navigation shines on the large screen, with […]

Following a former railway corridor through farmland, forest and wetlands, this point-to-point ride begins in a town shaped by railways and the Rideau Canal and finishes beside one of the canal’s prettiest lockstations. […]

This summer, six new gravel cycling loops launched in Hastings County’s Tyendinaga Township: signed, mapped, and ready to ride straight from the Recreation Hall.

Where you at, cycling fan-friend? Are you lost without your Tadej North Star, or relishing following races that are actually…races? (Without, of course, actually relishing Pogačar’s crash?) This sport is lousy with crashes, injuries, accidents, incidents, but roll on we must: To a Vuelta that will always have an asterisk, but that indeed now actually […]

VUELTA’26 STAGE 9: Enric Mas started the day in red following Tadej Pogačar’s shock exit from the race, then finished it looking every bit like the man to beat at this Vuelta. The Spaniard attacked the favourites on the Alto de Aitana, cracked Primož Roglič and then beat Oscar Onley in a two-man sprint to […]

In 2021 author and bike fitter Phil Cavell wrote a book examining the physiological aspects of cycling.  We reviewed “The Midlife Cyclist” here and this excellent book has now been followed by a kind-of-sequel.  “The Cycling Addiction” is about the psychological elements behind this athletic activity we all love so much.  The subtitle,  “Suffering, Speed […]

VUELTA’26 STAGE 8: Bryan Coquard scored the biggest win of his career in Xeraco, holding off Mads Pedersen to claim his first-ever Grand Tour stage victory.

SoCalCycling.com – Your Cycling Source: Bicycle crashes injure far more people than the fatality numbers suggest.

VUELTA’26 STAGE 6: Tadej Pogačar collected his third win in six stages in Castellón—but the bigger story was the rider who refused to let him disappear.

What’s Tadej Pogačar’s real aim at this point in his career? Mike tries to get inside the G.O.A.T.’s head in this introspective version of EuroTrash — while also searching for excitement elsewhere in the cycling world, such as…at the World Mountain Bike Championships?

THE OUTER LINE: Fin Tarling’s death should force professional cycling to move beyond condolences and confront persistent race-safety failures.
