Huh?????? Really??? Would you think it the riders handling skills have more to do with it....

1+ too. I have tried other pedals, but SP have been the best....so, far. However, you must replace the cleats every 3 - 4 K.

+1 Agree w/ Master50 that you need to have recovery days. As a 55 yr Master rider, I find that 3 days of intensity (racing or training) is my limit regardless how well my base fitness is. Finding a balance in your life (job, family, social & sport activities) helps put your mind at ease. You can...

Ditto to what bc_hills said, you are not going to tell any difference between these two bikes other than one wallet will be heavier than the other. I have two Scott CR-1's and according to the frame spec's my "Limited" version is supposed to be lighter than my "Team". I can not tell at all &...

As you might have imagined, the geometry between a cross bike & road are very different. Your cross bike typically would have more relaxed angles (steeper seat angle, thus the position of your seat could be much further back than your road bike). Also, do you ride with different shoes? Most...

1+....way, way, way too early.

1+, Good advice. Had Grade 1-2 seperation as well, 4 years ago. Do the exercises recommended by the PT. You will notice improvement in your movement & range by the end of the month. Good Luck.

Amazing really. It would be so cool (althought, I realize it will not happen) to see the young men of Bobridge & Phinney do a 4K ride-off. Congratulations Jack Bobridge!

What you need to understand is Pro sports such as Basketball, as well as Baseball & Football here in the States are seen as entertainment in the eyes of the Team Owners...i.e. they do not want their star players sitting on the bench, rather than out there in play so ticket holders can see their...

At US $8,000 for the frame...would it not be easier to join weight-watchers to loose the extra fat off your middle???

Well....as you may know, a person's PR/Max HR has very little to do with their athletic performance but it has been recorded that Miguel Indurain had a PR of 28! What is most important for pro cyclist is their VO2 max and rate of recovery. But if you must know at my age of 55, my PR is 39 & Max...

As my photo profile reflects.....hands down Eddy Merckx!

Without straying off this subject too much, Richmond, Virginia, will announce on Tuesday its intention to submit a bid to host the 2015 world road cycling championships.

1+ I just love this guys intensity

What!!!??? Not only VN's magazine is lame...just one stroll through the VN website and I'll be having grey stools too!
