Specialized Technology Dominates 2010 Tour de France

Keefer — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 12:49:50 +0000

As quite the Specialized fanboy, it was very nice to see so much Specialized technology being featured and prevailing in this year's Tour de France. Congrats to Specialized for continuing to get their name out there, and obviously they're doing something right to get such a great set of athletes riding and using their products — [...]

How Does Diet Soda Cause Weight Gain?

Keefer — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 17:48:37 +0000

Man, maybe I need to lay off the Coke Zero *shudder*. I've been riding pretty much daily, but maybe I need to switch to just water to see how much of a change this will have. I think August will be a month of nothing but water and my sports drinks when training. I'll post back [...]

This is pretty cool. It's obviously not as sexy as a nice Park Tool professional work stand, but pretty cool and pretty cheap.

Try New Headphones or Earbuds with Old Music, Tests Before Buying

Keefer — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 21:33:14 +0000

I go through a lot of earbuds and a fair amount of headphones, so having some tests and ways to ascertain how good they really are, here are some tests/ways, thanks to LifeHacker.com. The tests are a good first pass to help test new listening devices, and the tip to use older less produced music is [...]

14 Ways to Eat Like Cyclist at the Tour de France

Keefer — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 13:04:34 +0000

Man, Keefer Madness has been all about cycling this week. Sure, it's had a lot of cycling posts over the past five years or so, but this past week has been nothing but cycling between the Tour de France and the fact, I've been able to consistently get back in the saddle.

Regardless, here's another great list [...]

10 Training Fundamentals for Cyclists

Keefer — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 13:47:27 +0000

Bicycling.com has a lot of nice little articles and lists, some really basic. This little list possesses several "duhs" for those of us in the saddle regualry. But there are some nice friendly reminders. I especially like #5 — "Do what [...]

Incorporate Physical Activity into Your Work Breaks for Better Health

Keefer — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 14:54:26 +0000

The bottom line in the article below is for the best possible health, incorporate physical activity into all your breaks. While it's admirable to get a workout in before or after work (or in my case at lunch), it doesn't negate all the time a lot of of spending sitting at a desk, in meetings, etc. [...]

A Legendary Collapse: Armstrong Says, 'This Tour is Finished for Me.'

Keefer — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:06:56 +0000

The Versus Tour de France commentary was sprinkled over and over with the fact that Sunday's stage 8 — the first with any sizable climbing would not necessarily win the 2010 Tour for any rider, but it certainly could lose it for any given rider. I just would have never thought it was Lance Armstrong.

I didn't [...]
