Ben Foster Everesting Challenge

Attempting the Everesting Record – By Ben Foster, SoCalCycling.com Team

2020 has been a tough year for everyone, and bike racing has been no exception. With the racing season effectively canceled in the US, and having lost last years’ season to a broken femur I was looking for something to train for and challenge myself. Everesting has been something I’ve contemplated doing for a bunch of years now since I love climbing and love pushing my limits but the ebb and flow of rest, training and racing never felt like […]

2020 SoCalCycling.com Team

SoCalCycling.com Introduces the 2020 SoCalCycling.com Elite Team

If someone would have told us last summer, when we began preparations for the 2020 SoCalCycling.com Team race season,  that a worldwide pandemic would take place and cause a catastrophic health crisis and an economic shutdown that included putting cycling events on hold, it would have seemed unimaginable! As we prepared for 2020, the excitement built as new partners Richard Duquette and the Law Firm of Richard L. Duquette and Pacific Premier Bank became partners and a strong roster with […]

In the first stage of the Tour of Murrieta criterium, I saw that we had solid, […]

Review:  Continental Grand Prix 5000 Clincher Tire

Review:  Continental Grand Prix 5000 Clincher Tire

I have been using Continental tires for many years now and so have the riders on the SoCalCycling.com team with great success.   When I saw that Continental was updating their road clincher tires with a Continental Grand Prix 5000 model, I was thinking that it was going to be hard to create a better tire than the popular Continental GP 4000 tire.  Plus a lot of other manufactures were coming out with new tires and big name brands that make […]

Review: FSA K-Force Compact Carbon Handlebars

Review: FSA K-Force Compact Carbon Handlebars

For most of my years of riding, I’ve always stuck to using alloy bars due to their safety and reliability. However, carbon handlebars, specifically FSA K-Force Compact Carbon road handlebars, have come a long way putting any worries aside. Good road handlebars are like a good seat, they just have to feel comfortable as you’ll be riding and holding on to them in one position or another for the duration of your ride what ever type of ride that might […]
