Product Review: Clif Bar Products – By Josh Ruiz, SoCalCycling.com Team

I think sometimes we can forget that Chapstick is a brand of lip balm, a Jacuzzi is a type of hot tub, a Sharpie is one type of permanent marker and now Clif Bar is the new face for energy bars.  In my experience, being a bike racer who has tried nearly every energy bar product, I can genuinely say that Clif Bar and all of Clif’s products are always my top choice.  You can choose from a Clif Builder’s […]

On the Podium at the Ontario 4 Corner Criterium

The Ontario 4 Corner Criterium was held on a short .7 mile course that runs on some of the same streets as the popular Grand Prix course.

A break of twelve riders got off late in the race and with a few laps to […]
