Hi guys,

I am selling a used RealAxiom V4 trainer. (Yes, even with this weather outside.) It was lightly used last season but hasn't been used at all this year.

For those who aren't familiar with this, it's a "virtual reality" trainer that you hook up to a computer monitor. You can create your own workouts (increasing/decreasing resistance), pick from some of the pre-programmed workouts, or use a virtual course. (I have two courses: the Etape du Tour course in Limoges and the World Road Race course in Verona.) When you ride the virtual course, the trainer automatically adjusts resistance based on whether you're going up or down a hill, etc.

Here's a review of the unit:

The Yellowstone CycleFest is the most scenic and adventurous cycling event held in North America. This annual cycling event will be based in beautiful West Yellowstone, MT on July 23-30, 2011. This strikingly beautiful tour will be visiting two national parks, three national forests and three states. Though bicycling will be will be the focus of this yearly event, attendees will have numerous additional adventure sport options from which to choose. Each morning throughout the tour riders will embark on an extraordinary 35-62 mile fully supported road cycling tour through the unsurpassed mountain scenery within and surrounding Yellowstone National Park.

Just a general note that (until the next snow storm) main and secondary roads in Westchester are very bikeable.

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for Biking tours/Groups in Alaska. I'm thinking of going in late summer.

Thanks!

I'm looking to do a kidback conversion for our Bike Friday tandem this late spring/summer, and I think the main thing I need in terms of hardware is a pair of crank shorteners.

Before I buy them full retail, anyone have a used pair kicking around? This is the model I have in mind (the one for wider cranks): http://www.niagaracycle.com/product_info.php?products_id=405644

Thanks!

I might have taken chances on conditions left over from the snow last Tuesday but they say more snow showers this afternoon. I need to find a place that delivers bagels.

It's the last saturday in january and that means the last Die Hard ride of the winter. We've had to cancel the last 2 weeks due to ice. It's time for a meaningless gesture. We're riding tomorrow no matter what.

Yes, it's snowing tonight and will be sloppy tomorrow. Yes, we've been targeted in the park by 5-0.

Screw it. Meeting at the Boathouse at 9am for laps on the MTB. Will go only as fast as conditions allow. If you want to join, be really careful getting to and from the park.

ps; look for "wake up and smell the sig" on the ride listing page every saturday in february starting next week.

Anyone have any idea of the conditions on 9W and/or River Rd.?

Thanks

Has anyone been in the park today? Is it ridable?

thanks in advance,

hw

I'm going to Arizona with my wife this Feb. 9th. She's going to a medical conference on Thursday all day and into the evening as well as half a day Friday so I have official wife permission to disappear on a bicycle and explore the area. Any suggestions welcome. I originally thought that with the huge reserves / parks in the general area I would rent a mountain bike and try mountain biking but I haven't found any information on routes whereas I've found several road biking clubs and their routes (there is a dirt path along the Arizona canal but that doesn't appeal; running through urban area you have the worst of off-road and on-road in one).
