• Ryder Hesjedal Post-Tour Interview

  Rob Jones spoke with Ryder Hesjedal from Biarritz, on the French Riviera, where Hesjedal was taking a few days break before heading to San Sebastian for the next Pro Tour race. On Sunday, July 18, 2010, Hesjedal finished his third Tour de France with an incredible seventh place overall and two fourth place stage results on some of the hardest days of the race.

• Tuft Talks of the Giro and Wins Nationals

  Langley, BC, resident Svein Tuft, who now races for the Garmin-Transitions team, finished his first Grand Tour in May — the Giro d’Italia (note: he did ride 15 stages of the Vuelta Espana last season also). After he returned to his home in Girona, Spain, we caught up with him to find out how his season is going, and what it’s like riding on the Pro Tour.

• Records Set at Alpenrose Velodrome Challenge

  The twelfth edition of the Alpenrose Velodrome Challenge (AVC), one of the nation’s premier track cycling competitions, was presented from July 16 to 18. Riders from all over the country as well as Canada and New Zealand make the annual pilgrimage to race on the 43-degree banks of the cigar-shaped oval. What follows is an account of the most hotly contested events at this year’s AVC.

• Mike Schechter: Biking to Lose

  Mike Schechter is not a spokesman for dieting fads and get thin quick schemes; instead he promotes all the benefits of the cycling life. Resident of the Northwest since 1997 and cycling enthusiast since 2009, he accomplished a goal that many people find difficult, even impossible, to achieve: he lost weight, and not just a few fluctuating vanity pounds.

• How Cyclists Helped Rethink A Bridge

  In the spring of 2009, the Oregon and the Washington State Department of Transportation and other business interest groups were pushing the Columbia River Crossing project, a 4 billion dollar, 12-lane bridge planned to replace the existing I-5 structure between Oregon and Washington. Jamming a 12-lane freeway through the center of Portland looked like 20th century thinking.

• On the Club Ride, Part Two

  Part two of a two-part conversation between Maynard and his friend Corey. Last month they were talking about club rides and the advantages and disadvantages of participating in them.

• Tour De Lance: The Extraordinary Story Of Lance Armstrong’s Fight to Reclaim The Tour de France

  Saddle back up and reclaim the Tour de France? Dream on. Sports comebacks are unwieldy animals that rarely go according to plan, or end well. More than baseball, boxing or basketball, bicycle racing offers absolutely no margin for error, no wiggle room, no accommodations for age or motivation.

• On the Club Ride

  Club life was different 30-odd years ago. Rides were structured and instruction or discipline was often harsh. We were young, malleable and hungry for knowledge. We felt lucky to learn about the sport from seasoned riders. Recently I’ve begun riding with a local club.
