Cannondale's 2010 bikes











I had to post this one. Here's some of the bikes from Cannondale's 2010 line. I've owned 5 Cannondale bikes and they've all been great. Right now I've got a Cannondale Capo that I love to ride almost as much as my geared road bike. I've always liked the Cannondale Bad Boy. I've never had one but from seeing them over the years it looks like a really nice fitness bike. Check out the article and more pictures here at bikeradar.com

Riding in a team support car.














































Here’s a good article from VeloNews describing what its like to ride in one of the support vehicles of a professional cycling team during a race. The stages are generally long and riding in the support vehicle one would see a lot of things in the way of crazy fans, crashes, giving the riders food, water, and helping with any mechanical problems. I posted some pictures from the article but you can check it all out here at VeloNews. They were taken during one of the stages of this years Tour Of California.

The Chicken Is Back!


Say what you will but one of the best climbers is back. Michael Rasmussen was my pick for the KOM jersey in the 2007 Tour De France and he ended up getting the yellow jersey. He probably would have won the tour but Rabobank, the team he was riding for pulled him from the race and then fired him due to uncertainty of his whereabouts before the start of the 2007 Tour.
