Spring Training Myths (Podcast #9)
Spring has sprung in the northeast, and that means forums are humming with training discussions and group rides are filled with chatter of "how have you been training?" There's a lot of talk about sweet spots, hill repeats and base miles. If you dissect those conversations, how many of them contain legitimate information and how many are just stuffed with buzz words and poor implementation of (misunderstood) concepts?
Review: SRAM Red Shifters
Some of you may have gathered that I'm something of a SRAM fanboy, and having ridden SRAM for the past 5 years (starting with the old original Force which is still kicking on my cyclocross bike) I wanted to replace my old Red parts methodically, piece by piece.

Knee Pain Primer
Whether you've been riding hard since December, hoping to podium at that spring "classic" or you're just starting up your training, one thing can slow all of us to a crawl: knee pain. At some point in our cycling lifetime we'll all experience it, and we'll all know the suffering of sitting on the couch while we wonder "why me" or "why now?" Instead of asking those questions, it's more prudent to ask "what caused this" along with treating the symptoms that put you out of commission.

There are a few things you'll want to keep in mind as you begin to dust off your bike and head back out on the open road (or trail, if that's the case.) After the jump, you'll learn just what you should be doing to get yourself moving safely and effectively after a winter layoff.
