It’s that time of the year again. For me, the Boulevard Road Race was always the first race of the season. The Boulevard Road Race is never a easy race. It has always had a great turn out of well rounded riders and this year had a really good field of riders. The USA National Team had 10+ riders, CashCall Mortgage had 10 riders and there were some other talents in the field like Optum Pro Cycling p/b KBS teammates […]
The Champion System Pro Cycling Team kicked off their 2013 team presentation today in Carson, CA.

I have used many helmets from companies like Giro to Laser and this is the first helmet I have used that after 3 hours of riding my neck does not hurt from the helmet being so heavy. Another great feature is that the Ekoi 999 offers is its […]
The SuperSix Hi-Mod has been Cannondale’s flagship bike for several years. However, the engineers at Cannondale worked on the EVO project for some time and have truly come out with the perfect ride. After riding and racing the SuperSix Hi-Mod, which was awesome, I didn’t think they could make the ride of the EVO that much better.
