Product Review: Cannondale Caad12

Cannondale has had a long history of making fantastic race bikes. From the creation of the CAAD series (Cannondale Advanced Aluminum Design) in the late 90′s, Cannondale has been a leader in aluminum race bikes. Even after the carbon fiber take-over of the market, Cannondale continues to believe that even though carbon can be built to be lighter, stiffer and in most respects, faster, the aluminum frame still has a place in the market. As every line of production, the […]

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 […]
