It’s like Rocky only without the black eye.
by Clint Hosman on January 14th, 2008
Being inspired by Bit T’s posting on hottie shorts and fixie training and thought “maybe we should tell each other what we are up to on the training tip.” With that in mind before I explain anything of my training or what I do while on my rides I should explain that I subscribe to what I like to call the “Rocky IV” method of training. I see myself as Rocky of course because number one I love America, and number two, like Rocky I don’t have a lot of money to throw at things like CTS couches, power tap meters, expensive heart rate monitors…

A new bike for Jon: the build.
by Jon on January 2nd, 2008
I’ve been a die hard roadie since I was 14 years old, but ever since I first rode the mountain bike earlier in 07 I was hooked. Unfortunately, though, I would be forced to ‘borrow’ the bikes of both my cousin and Rob for weeks on end to have the chance to ride the dirt—until recently, that is.
