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. The Pro 1-3 race was only 60 minutes long, so the SoCalCycling.com Team was aggressive and made solid attacks throughout the race in an effort to get something to stick in the hot and humid weather.
