Don't let a raining day get in the way of a great cycling workout.

Sure is nice cruising down your favorite road at 50km/hr with the wind at your back and barely breaking a sweat. This is what I did this morning with a gusty northerly. After an easy hour of riding, I realized that I was 50km away! I still had to turn around…

Thank you to Michal Krodkiewski for this tip on a good technique to clean your chain properly.  I use a Wipperman link myself and it’s the most convenient way to remove your chain when cleaning.  Remember, a clean chain = 5 watts!

I recently wrote a post about crosswinds and I’m going to do it again today.  It’s been a major theme of my past couple of races.

This article is for all you young guns out there wanting to get sponsored by a big team or bike company.

Ever installed a valve extension on those fantastic new deep rimed wheels only to have them leak? This article discusses how to stop leaks for good.

In this article I discuss a great tip that Brett Phelan gave me...

Even though the the peloton is riding at a very steady speed, the distance between riders is constantly changing.  This tip describes how to move through a a tight pack during races.

You’ve probably been in a situation where some shifty bugger keeps stealing the wheel you were sitting comfortably behind. As this happens again and again the next thing you know you’re at the back of the bunch.

Depending on the mood of the peloton, sometimes races can be extremely negative.  What I mean by "negative" is that every time someone attacks and attempts to create a break-away it gets chased it down.  Sometimes this can be a very intentional team strategy for those who want the race to come down to a field sprint.  Or it can also be a result of too many people in the peloton being nervous and excited where every time a rider goes up the road, someone tries to go with him and ends up dragging the whole pack up to that rider.  If you have some nasty crosswinds at your disposal, there is one way to split up the group so that you can get rid of those riders just sitting on.  Throw it in the gutter!
