August Cycling Challenge!
So you think (or maybe you know) that you're just that good!
Well, put your foot to the pedal and prove it!
By this time of the year most people are feeling super fast as they've dialed in their bikes, timing, and had plenty of chances to hit their favorite trails.
The idea of this August's Cycling Challenge is to show up for your local rides sporting pedal opposite from what you are currently sporting.
This means all those using Clipless & ToeClips need to go Platform/Flat style and all those using Platform/Flat style need to go Clipless & ToeClips.
I will guarantee taking this challenge will show you just how much skill pedals can give or take away from a person.
And to top it off, it'll make all your rides more challenging and I know how we mountain bikers are always in search of the next tough challenge!
So take the August Cycling Challenge and just out of your comfort zone!

"Tunes for Trails" raised $2000.00!
I have to say that while I am now a silent face of Richmond-MORE, I am very excited to see so many people so willing to help out the club that I co-founded only a few short years ago. Countless amounts of energy goes into running a club like Richmond-MORE and it's an awesome feeling to watch the club take on a life of it's own as new people join up and use their drive and talents to help push the club to further heights!
While so many constantly deserve a "Thank you" for the efforts they put forth to improve the Richmond mountain biking scene, this time the "Thank you" goes out to Terrell Bowers & the Green Giants for putting on the "Tunes for Trails" benefit concert at Cap Ale, and Clark Jones for really working with Terrell to make this event happen and get the word out.
This concert raised $2000.00 for Richmond-MORE, with a total of 245 people showing up for the event.
If anyone wants to learn how to get more involved in Richmond-MORE or their local club, feel free to contact me and I'll be happy to make the connections happen.
You can contact me on the forums, I'm f5000sl.

The Tour
No matter how you cut it, July is all about Le Tour de France.
Love it or leave it, the scandals that rock the cycling world continue to ooze from every pour of the Tour. It's hard to believe that so many are caught, or so many are even doping when you can bank on the Tour testing you.
But a larger question is, do other events even bother to test, or just hide their heads in the sand when it comes to doping. I mean, how can the Tour seem to catch so many when other races seem to never catch a sole?
Well, either way the Tour is once again shaping up to be a Tour to remember with fewer American's that in the last few previous and with two American Teams which are all seemly doing well after the first 7 stages.
One thing for sure, this race will come right down to the wire and you should expect the Tour this year to be wider open than ever in terms of strategy and organization.
While people claim and accuse Lance Armstrong and his previous teams of cheating and just not getting caught, people fail to admit that while Lance was racing, the Tour was a whole different race. Every day seem very calculated and exact, and while all the teams have freewill, it seems that maybe,(and IMO) just maybe Lance one by simply outsmarting everyone.
The evidence of his game is clear in the lacking of game that has unfolded over the last two years since he retired. Even though his former mates are still racing, no one seems to be able to pull off the wait & attack games like Lance.
Even still, this like all is promising to be another great tour and with about 14 stages to go, it's still anyone's game.
