My Build – Getting Started
February 22nd, 2010 · No Comments · My Build
So, I want to get a road bike. Something that I can call my own. Something I can be proud of. Something that is FAST!
After going to store after store, looking at road bikes and seeing what is available, I have discovered one sad fact.That is that bikes in general have gone way up in price. To get a road bike, you’re looking at a minimum of 700 — $800. This is the lowest of the line.

How to Put Together a Weekly Workout Plan
February 20th, 2010 · No Comments · Tips, Training
By Winston Endall
I’ve told you about a bunch of types of workouts, but if you tried to do them all in one week you would put yourself in the hospital. One the most common questions I get is how do you put together a weekly plan. I usually set things up in 4 week blocks but for illustration purposes we’ll just put a single week plan together.

Shimano Alfine 11-speed
February 20th, 2010 · No Comments · Design, Trends
I was busy travelling when this was first announced, so I debated whether to even mention it at this point, but the new 11-speed Shimano Alfine hub is something I am pretty excited to see. Up until now, Rohloff had the market cornered for internally geared hubs with a wide range of gearing. According to the Lazy Randonneur, this new 11-speed Alfine has a gear range of 409%, compared to 307% for the current 8-speed version. The Rohloff still has a greater range, 526%, but when you consider the cost difference, the 11-speed Alfine should give it some serious competition.
