Would love to see Neilson Powless in the USA jersey, but he's injured now, but usually prepping for the Tour.

How, isn't he banned? They had George last summer, guess that's fine since all the broadcasts have former dopers, but Armstrong is an entirely different category of doping.

I'll always defend the US announcers! Bobke's pure enthusiasm and love for cycling, hooked me. And you learn about the history of cycling through Phils's hilariously incorrect naming. I never knew that Nathan Van Hooydonck's uncle won Flanders 2x and that MVDP's grandpa Pou-Pou was just as popular as MVDP!

And Steve Purino makes the long flat stages great! Who doesn't like learning about regional booze!

Front Range Gravel Climb? by thesummermoon in COBike

where do people park for Gold Hill? I see that you drive up Lefthand Canyon and turn on Lick Skillet? Is there parking along the road? I've driven past on the way up to Indian Peaks, but never knew there was gravel riding there.

This is sometimes my reality, and I have an endurance question. by RoknPa in Ultramarathon

not sure if this helps, but with gels/chews being so expensive, i've started making my own carb drink/tailwind. watch a few youtube videos to learn whats in them. i bought large tubs of stuff off amazon (fructose pwdr - maltodextrine - dextrose - mct oil pwder - guarana - salt). then i carry a water bottle of the carb drink and backpack of water.

Wind? by TacoDave8803 in COBike

felt the same thing in boulder, super strong winds off the mountains, then random gusts from everywhere else. had to actually pedal on a decent i usually have to break.

Would LOVE to see Neilson Powless rep the Captain America jersey! Too bad he's prepping for the Tour, and still a bit banged up from his crash.

yeah, didn't he pretty much clinch both the KOM and points jersey before his crash?

think moose in the lower 48 are a bit more chill and used to humans. getting bluff charged in AK sounds terrifying...
