So – for this century that I’d like to accomplish in August, I’m going to need a new bike. I’ve been infatuated with my Marin Muirwoods – but that’s not enough horsepower for a long road trip. So, I’m looking for a sub $1000 hot-ass bike. I think the Bianchi Forza is …

Thanks to the great number of cheap MP3 players out there – being able to take our favorite playlists with us while training has never been easier. (note – it is HIGHLY recommended that you NOT wear headphones while cycling – it is important to hear what is going on around you). Here …
