Garmin extends sponsorship through 2013

American cycling seems to be stronger than ever these days. Yesterday Garmin announced they are extending their sponsorship of Garmin Slipstream team. Columbia continues with one of the top teams in cycling the Team Columbia – HTC or HighRoad team and some guy named Lance has started a team with Radio Shack that will no doubt be a force in their first year.

Up for some mountain biking?

I got my two oldest sons new mountain bikes this week. Not long until they do this?

This looks fun. These guys are a little nuts though. 8 minute video. You get the idea in the first few minutes. I still couldn’t stop watching.

The greatest Tour of all

Back in the day when I used to ride and race Greg LeMond was the man in cycling. Bike Radar has a nice 3 part article about the behind the scenes of the 1989 Tour de France. Possibly one of the greatest Tours of all time. The story is even more amazing when you get a behind the scenes look at what was going on.
