Haha, you're probably right, it might appear that way. I ride with many people who have $8,000+ bikes, so my 'lowly' $3,000 bike, is near the bottom end. Additionally, when I go the triathlons and...

Why are road and TT bikes so expensive?

I have a couple of road bikes and a triathlon bike so I know how expensive my bikes are, and how expensive bikes can be. My road bikes are on the relatively cheaper end (2018 Specialized Roubaix...

That's the one! The Lakewood Loop. We love this area. You'll probably find me either running or cycling at least a portion of the loop four days a week.

I meant overall climbing, not just one hill. My ride I did several different hills (canyons to be exact).

What's the most you've climbed in one ride?

I had this goal by the end of the summer to climb at least 10,000 feet during one ride, but it was hard to find that many hills. So I decided to do it over a 100 miles...that would be 100 feet per...

My tail light is the Cygolight Hotshot Pro, which is about 200 lumens. It probably doesn't matter what kind of light you use, so long as it's reliable, which most are. I also suggest always having...

I use the Pool Tool chain cleaner with dish soap and that gets the chain and gear system super clean. Then I use a wax lube, which works super well because it doesn't collect small particles.

Since most decent road bikes are over $1000, I would think that any bike less than $100 would be an okay deal so long as it ridable. It really depends on what you out of a bike. Do you want to ride...

With that many lights, it sounds like you're a little timid about riding, which is okay. You should have a good time and try to follow what the person in front of you is doing. Trying to pedal at a...

I'm not sure why having an even number of teeth as opposed to an odd number would matter. I understand that more teeth is generally easier. But having a cog with 11-13-15-17-etc. shouldn't really...

A road bike is great if you only want to ride on paved surfaces (cement, asphalt). However, if you want to ride on some dirt trails as well, then I would recommend a gravel bike. The best option...

My wife and I just wash our bike stuff normally in the washer...usually with cold water and low spin. However, we DO NOT use the dryer for any workout clothing (i.e., anything not cotton), and we...

Are Assioma Duo power pedals that great?

I currently have a Pioneer crank power meter (only on the drive side). However, I've found that it reads very high, about 20-30 watts higher than other power meters, and I have connectivity issues...

So I finally rode Guardsman Pass from the Midway side, and it was tough. It's about 4000 ft of climbing in a little less than 9 miles. I was happy to hold about 250 watts (which is good for me),...

Climbing on of the hardest climbs in the country

Has anybody else tried the Guardsman Pass climb in Utah before? I was looking at a YT video of a guy climbing it. It looks pretty challenging. This makes me wonder what other climbs are out there?
