Low Carb Cycling Lie (Podcast #20)
Low and no carb diets have been around for 20 years. However, recently they've become a fad for athletes, with some people very loudly proclaiming that they are the perfect diet for high level athletes. I'm here to bust that myth and show you why you should be eating your bagels.
SRAM Red Exogram Quarq Review
After managing to put paid to my third Cinqo power meter, Quarq went above and beyond the call of warranty service and upgraded me to a Red Exogram power meter to replace the problem child Cinqo. I detailed the warranty process in this post, so you can read about it in detail there. Suffice to say, Quarq was wonderful throughout the process and I feel confident recommending them and their power meter units to anyone.
Giro del Cielo Race Report (Podcast #19)
The Giro del Cielo is a 2 day stage race in Sussex County, New Jersey. Originally begun as a women's only race, in the 9 years or so that it's been in existence, organizers have added men's cat 3 and 4/5 fields. USA Cycling sanctioned, the 2 day/3 stage event is a great way to introduce people to stage racing without forcing them to commit to something as brutal as the Green Mountain Stage Race, Tour of the Catskills or the like. It's geographical location in northern New Jersey is also the perfect venue to draw a diverse group of racers and teams, ranging from local squads to teams and riders from New York City and Philadelphia.

On Cycling Hero(in)es
Over the weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Parx Casino Philly Cycling Classic with the finish atop the legendary Manyunk Wall. The close atmosphere of the event, combined with a large, high quality field allowed spectators and fans an amazing opportunity to get up close and personal with the action and the main protagonists in the field. As the day wore on and we watched as riders suffered for the glory of the win, the QOM/KOM points, the points jersey and even just to stay in the race, it occurred to me that events like the Philly Classic cement cycling's foundation of a sport full of heroes, and the more I pondered the events of the day, the more I realized why we react to cycling the way we do. And honestly, it made me think about who my heroes are.
