Hi Mike, ... Danny Clarke showed his class in Gran Fondo racing last year, and also dominated his age category in the 2001 World Masters Track Championships, ...
Have just come back from a 3 week trip with preciously little cycling, though it involved 2 cols: Montgenevre and Sestrieres in Italy. The trip was made with a...
I guess it's fun to be self sufficient, but I prefer my bike to have as little as possible on it. I wish I didn't even have to carry a spare tube! ... would...
Um, perhaps I emphasized a bit too much on how heavy his bike and belonging= s are.. when I was in Paris I met the guy who has cycled in almost all count= ries...
... Sounds great. I'd love to do it. Like April though, I like to ride a light bike. I would love to tour the alps taking a small backpack and a credit card...
Anyway, my question was really, are you guys/gals crazy enough to cycle 600= 0km over 300 cols in the Alps? Just curious! Big part of the enjoyment of the...
I sure could be tempted into some similar type of affair. Unfortunately family reality and geography preclude it. confess to being a lot more like April...
This reminds me of a book I worked on a few years ago called 'Clear Waters Rising', about the author's journey - though hiking, not bicycling - across Europe...
Having just ridden most of the big hills on the South Island of NZ {in Feb.} carrying tent, sleeeping bag etc {just less than 20 kilos} I can't think of a ...
Since we come back to the weight subject I'll add my own point of view. Ideally, I'd be carrying as little as possible. However, I'm too much of a tightwad to...
... I recall that on a ride that I was leading, at the top of an obscure little climb, we met a group of young English guys on not very good bikes, loaded with...
Perhaps this is the right place to ask?
Upon arrival in Briançon, I suddenly noticed that I had forgotten to bring = my sun glasses. Knowing that the sun in...
Although being a nurse I'm not quite certain, but I got problems with me eyes too when riding without (sun) glasses,not so much because of the sun,but the wind...
Hi! I am interested in doing the 62-mile loop of Mt. Greylock and Petersburg Pass described by Louis Rossi in his High Roads of the Northeast United States ...
John, I'm a native of North Adams, MA which is the town at the base of the harder approach to Mt. Greylock. I have to say the riding in that area is some of...

Discussions being at a low ebb, I jump in with a question for Californians. Its about surfing in the Pacific rather than on the Web. Where would you say is a...
Well, It looks like King Mario has been excluded again. The World Cup points leader..in fine form this year yet excluded from the Tour by short sighted...
But perhaps as a result we'll see Cipollini more focussed on the remainder World Cup races this year -- well, maybe not Tour of Lombardy.... As for Mercatone...
Well seeing as how quiet it was on here it took a few remarks to spark some life into this forum.... I'd love to be able to do something about it, truly I...
Unless Italy grabs the Alps and Spain does likewise with the Pyrenees it'll always be a great race. ... Authors uncovered, exclusive extracts, interviews and...
The tour is a three week race, not a one week race. Mario would drop out after the first week. If they had soneone on his new team or even if he would...
Massachusetts is also making a nice bike map on the Western part of the state. If you are at a rest stop or tourist center they should have it. It gives...
Did anyone have read that explanation of tdf organizers? Something like "Kirsipuu won one stage and hold yellow jersey for a few days, so let's invite his team...
You'd think that after all the criticism last year, LeBlanc would have been a little more responsive to public opinion. French arrogance? Being a great fan of...
For those of you interested in doing a challenging ride this year or in the near future, the June 2002 issue of Bicycling describes 10 such rides. Six are road...
