By: Todd Atkins I have been using the Motorola MOTOACTV (8GB) for about a year now. I wanted to give it a thorough testing before I put my thoughts together for a review. It’s a handy and unique device that excels in some areas and fails in others. I give it 3.5 stars out of [...]
By: Todd Atkins Buying a road bike can be really overwhelming. There’s a joke that with bikes your options are weight, strength, and price. Pick two of them. Seriously though, everything has a trade-off. Special thanks to Pinarello, Fuji, Specialized, and Mavic for the production photos. Frameset The frame and fork account for the biggest [...]
The biggest cycling event in decades is coming to Boulder and we want to meet up, warm up with brunch and mimosas, and then leisurely ride our bikes down the Boulder Creek bike path to town (2 ½ miles) to catch all the day’s events. This is a members-only event. Current 2012 members have already [...]
Ok, no one really likes chip seal roads. They are cheaper to maintain for the city and county but can really get on your nerves (literally) when riding. To give Boulder County credit, they recognize how much we dislike the surface and at least use a much smaller aggregate and they say they will sweep [...]
Come on, admit it. You had at least one of these questions when you first got into cycling. Much of this post is tongue in cheek but it actually does answer a large number of questions that many new cyclists have and are just too embarrassed to ask. Let me know in the comments if [...]
The Boulder Cycling Club is an open club for all skill levels. We see a number of new faces on many rides and we are happy that you have joined us. Many new cyclists in Boulder have never ridden in a group before. Heck, many experienced cyclists have never ridden in a group either. We [...]
We are about to add a new section to the site. We’re calling it “Ride & Race Reports” and we need your help. Each year, Colorado is host to hundreds of cycling events like charity rides, stage races and challenging centuries. Many cups of coffee and pitchers of beer have been emptied over the great [...]
The long awaited Valmont Bike Park in Boulder opened today. We have some photos and videos for you to enjoy. Congrats to BMA, IMBA, and the City of Boulder on a job well done. There’s a terrain park, single track trails, and a cyclocross course. Plus a whole lot more. The new Valmont Bike Park [...]
We all know the importance of staying hydrated while riding, but most of us do a less than stellar job replenishing carbs and electrolytes. This is one of the reasons why we bonk halfway through a ride. A 165 lb cyclist riding a 13 mph pace burns about 650 calories per hour. An energy gel packet costs about [...]

Jerseys are still available for purchase, but we have a limited quantity left. Don’t delay. Jerseys will be available for [...]
