After a few years of use I decided to retire most of the current parts on my road bike and start over. Ever since Ian built up one of the matte black anodized Caad10 frames I have been a little jealous. Saturday I finally got around to finishing up the build on mine. I have...

Quality Bicycle Products was nice enough to fly Josh and I out to Ogden Utah for their annual dealer event. We had the chance today to check out the expo and see some of the upcoming 2012 product from several of their partner brands. There was too many cool things to describe but I’ll give...

Just don’t do it. If you already have them, no need to run out and replace, they will break soon enough. Then get alloy. If you want to look like you have carbon, get plastic. CBC will not even participate in the illicit commerce, the peculiar institution, of carbon bottle cages. You got to take...

Gloves are one of those things you pretty can’t do without most of the time even though you wish you could. I for one would love to ride without them all spring and summer long but when I’m getting sweaty on the trails or racing at Bryan Park grip and protection are both a must....

The Camp Hilbert race series is one of my favorites. Just a 40 minute drive from downtown and on some of the fastest trails around. CBC had a pretty good showing at round 2 of the 3 race series. Ian took 5th place in enduro managing 9 laps of the 6 mile loop aboard his...

Not willing to let an extra day off go to waste Sarah and I decided to go for a bike ride together this past Monday.  Next month we are going on vacation with our dog Buster so we figured we should hook up the trailer and bring him along for a “training ride”.  After a...

Sunday the 10th is race #2 in the Camp Hilbert series. Hilbert is a fun fast and not overly technical course, perfect for your first foray in to mountain bike racing and an excuse to ride FAST! The trails are essentially closed the rest of the year and are always in great shape. I’ll be...

Every Saturday morning until it gets too cold is the CBC novice roadie ride. This is a relaxed 18 mile ride along the James River and through down town. This is a no drop ride but do keep the following in mind… This is a road bike ride so hybrids and other bikes will be...

Fellow CBC owner Tim Mullins sprints to 3rd place in the Master’s Clarenden Cup this past Saturday!

CBC athlete Marty Steigmann won the XTERRA yesterday. That Geritol sponsorship might come through now. Incredible.

Europcar is by far my favorite cycling team as of today. Why?? 1. Their results are so bad they must be clean. 2. They wear black shorts which is classy and old school. 3. I bet 50% of the incoming freshman at Maggie Walker could design a better website than their’s, http://en.teameuropcar.com/ 4. They always...

Looks like debuting the lightest production bike for 2012 (SuperSix Evo) was not enough… Cannondale has a sick new time trial / triathlon bike in the works. Check it out… no word yet on when it will be available but it can’t be far out. Cannondale rarely tips their hand if they are not near...
