Estimates vary widely. While not perfect, our calorie counter can give you a pretty good estimate of how many calories you burn on your rides. Information can be entered into your training diary or used to keep a food diary. <br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Alpha jacket from Castelli is the piece in their line that we are most excited about for this year. Unlike most cycling jacket, the insulation layer and the windproof layer are not attached to one another in the front. Opening the front zipper when you are riding hard allows rapid evaporation of sweat
without excessive cooling. Zip up at the top of the
climb to keep the wind out and the warmth in for
the descent.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Alpha jacket features 5 pockets including a zippered back pocket for security. There's plenty of storage space for carrying your cycling essentials including tubes, tools, keys and your cell phone. Reflect strips help you stay safe on the bike. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Alpha features Gore Windstopper 150 fabric that is both windproof and water-resistant. It has a 4 way stretch so the garment stretches and moves with your body. The collar of the jacket is also articulated to match the bends of your body. Wether your sitting upright climbing a hill or in the drops on the descent, the collar forms to your neck so you don't feel a draft down your back. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Castelli Alpha is a simple solution to an age old problem of ventilation when you're on the bike. We are excited to try this jacket out in our testing ground of Portland, Oregon. This jacket will resist rain and wind but will also be more breathable In 1977 Castelli had release the first Lycra cycling short. Since then, they have never stopped innovating and now produce some of the best cycling clothing in the world. </span><br />

One of the best products we have ever tested is Castelli Gabba jersey! Not only is the jersey extremely water resistant, it's also very breathable, keeping us comfortable on the bike. There wasn't a lot to be improved upon but Castelli has made some slight upgrades to the product. <br />
<br />
For 2014 there is one new color, drive blue, joins yellow fluorescent and black in the line. Castelli has also improved the zipper of the Gabba including a flap above the zipper for additional waterproofing. Other improvements include a mesh drain in the back which is improved over last years metal drain. <br />

In other exciting news about the Gabba, Castelli has made a women's Gabba jersey for the first time <br />
ever! It comes in three colors including purple and coral. In the past, women had to make due with men's sizes. Like most Castelli women's items, they typically sell out quickly. The women's sizes will fit small like most Castelli items for women. If you need help with sizing call our experts at 888-817-8060.

I bought my Gabba in 2011. Since then it's been my main, go to piece of winter cycling kit. I wear the short sleeve version of the jersey paired with arm warmers. It's enough for me in most situations. I wear it in cool and rain. In Portland it doesn't usually get much bellow freezing so I can get away with less. On really cold and rainy days I turn to another Gore Windstopper jacket. <br />

Vincenzo Nibali is the 2014 Tour de France champion, winning four stages in 21 days of competition, with an advantage of nearly eight minutes over his second place rival - Now he has to start defending himself. Bradley Wiggins had to do it and so did Chris Froome. It seems like every year the champion of the Tour de France has to defend himself against the insinuations and accusations that he's doping and that he won the race on everything but bread and water. Understandably, fans of the sport are very skeptical. The graphic below from the New York times illustrates the top 10 riders who have implicated for doping or have admitted it since 1998. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a fan, I really want to believe that this race was clean. I've been following the Tour de France since I was 14 years old in 1984. To me, there are many compelling reasons to believe in Nibali. First, he has quietly won both the Tours of Spain and Italy without any controversy. He's never had a negative test. Indeed, drug testing has come along way with more out of competition tests and tougher procedures. Vincenzo is quoted as saying, "Steps have been taken and great progress has been made, and with it my results have arrived," said the Italian. "I have to thank (the UCI) because without these controls, maybe I wouldn't be here today."</div>

Mostly, he won this race because he raced intelligently and was always attentive at the front from start to finish. Chris Froome probably wasn't his best after crashing two weeks before the start of the Tour in England. Nibali also rode a much smarter race in stage 5 than Alberto Contador. The Spaniard lost 2:37 on the cobble stone stage before crashing out with a broken leg on stage 10. Vincenzo also used measured attacks to gain time on his rivals. In his stage wins he won by 2, 15, 10 and 70 seconds. Not huge gaps by any measure and well within the means of reasonable human performance. He was seldom under pressure and perfectly used his team to win the race. </div>

There will be those that will always be skeptical of cycling. It's understandable. As fans we've had our hearts broken too many times by Delgado, Riis, Landis, Armstrong, Ulrich, Contador and et al. Despite the large margin of his victory, this was always a fun and exciting Tour de France. Vincenzo Nibali perfectly used a measured approach to this race and seemed to be at the right place at the right time. His victory is a credit to hard work, obsessive preparation and lots of luck. I really enjoyed this race. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. </div>

The talk of this year's Tour de France is the selfie and the race. Like in years past, cyclists are running into spectators along the route. This is one of the more spectacular examples of a rider potentially hurting of both himself and someone at the side of the road. What do you think? Should spectators be more careful or should the organization do more to protect the riders. Leave your comments below. </div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Fabian Cancellara-</b> the name on everyone's lips this week? Fabian Cancellara is definitely the favorite after his commanding victory in The Tour of Flanders last week. He also won last years race as well as Paris Roubaix in 2006 and 2010. The only possible problem? His team wasn't there to help him at the end of the race. With strong teams from BMC and Omega, Fabian could find himself isolated at the end of the race. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Tom Boonen- </b>Always a favorite for Roubaix, Boonen has won the race 4 times and is going for a record 5 wins. Unfortunately, he has had some personal issues he's been dealing with and he's crashed a couple of times this spring. Last week in Flanders he struggled. His Omega Pharma Quick Step team are always strong for this race. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-weight: normal;"><b> </b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><b>Sep Vanmarcke-</b> The
young Belgian has had some great results in the classics. Last week he
finished 3rd at the Tour of Flanders and the year before he finished
2nd in the Paris Roubaix. He's young and would love to win his first
cobbled trophy. He's in excellent form this year! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Greg Van Avermaet-</b> Last week he finished 2nd at the Tour of Flanders after being off the front for a large part of the race. His BMC team is strong for a race like Roubaix. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Taylor Phinney- </b>The young American had a great week last week. He was away in a long break for much of the race. In a strong team like BMC, he might be able to sneak away while the others watch Greg Van Avermaet. He's won the U23 version of Roubaix 2 times! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Peter Sagan-</b> Peter has struggled in major races this year. His Cannondale team is often not present in the final moments of a race and the Slovak rider has been either tired or has started his sprint late. Sagan's first ride at Roubaix was 2011 and he hasn't rode as well in this race as he has in others. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Alexander Kristoff-</b> After winning Milan San Remo three weeks ago, Kristoff's confidence seems to have grown. He's been finishing well in other races and he seems to be in very good shape. It's hard to imagine him winning the race this year but he could finish on the podium. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Zdeněk Štybar-</b> Last year Stybar crashed into a spectator's camera when he was in a good position to win Roubaix last year. He lost precious momentum after the crash and eventually finished 6th in the race. He's also the 2014 World Champion in Cyclocross. He definitely has the bike handling skills for this race.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Others to watch- <b>Evald Boasson Hagen</b> is Norway's other favorite for the race. He's expected to lead the Sky team. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Niki Terpstra-</b> Another strong rider from Omega, he could sneak away with a victory if the team plays it's cards right.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Johan Van Summeren-</b> After a horrific crash last week, it would be hard to expect great things from Van Summeren, but he's won Roubaix before and is allegedly riding the race. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Thor Hushovd-</b> Thor has had some great results in Roubaix but his form has been lacking due to illness.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Bradley Wiggins-</b> Never count a motivated Tour de France winner out of a race when they target it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Sebastian Langeveld</b>- Another strong rider for the Garmin team. He's on great form this year. </span><br />
<br />
<i>I have been watching Paris Roubaix since 1985 when Marc Madiot won the race. I thought it was weird that people would ride on cobbles. I still think Roubaix is weird and I also love watching it. </i><br />

This early season Italian Road Race has
been held annually since 1964 in Liguria, Italy. Having just been
held last weekend (won by Colombian Jose Serpa), this UCI 1.1 race

short history. As the European Road Season begins now in earnest in
March, lets look at this great little rolling race that draws quality
fields every year to its relatively warm roads.</div>

Nothing is worse than riding or racing with a saddle sore or "chafing" skin. Your seat, shorts, and salt crystals from sweat can feel like 40 grit sand paper on your private parts. Trust me, a pleasant, fun ride can quickly become an ordeal quickly, but these 8 tips will help you stay happy and comfortable on the bike. <br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Keep it clean down below. Make sure you shower frequently while riding often. </li>
<li>Don't wear underwear or anything else that can cause friction. Also avoid cotton shorts, as they tend to hold sweat. </li>
<li>Reduce friction by not having your seat so high that your hips rock when you pedal. If you haven't done it already, be sure to get your bike fitted properly by an expert. </li>
<li>Use good cycling shorts with a quality pad. Good shorts don't have to be really expensive. We stock pairs under $100. </li>
<li>Take off those shorts as soon as you done with your riding
to reduce the chance of infection from sitting around in sweat soaked bike
shorts.</li>
<li>Use a clean pair of bike shorts every day.</li>
<li>Use a lubricant on your chamois. Chamois Butt'r is good and available at several bike shops. Other quality brands include Assos Chamois Creme, while others swear by Udderly Smooth. In the old days, we used to use Vasoline on synthetic or natural chamois, but I find it too heavy. Newer chamois pads tend to be less abrasive. </li>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Stay comfortable in the saddle </td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<li>Experiment with other products if you develop sores. You may want to opt for a trip to the doctor and prescription antibiotics if the problem persists. I have also found Teatree oil, diluted, to be very good at removing the infection. Be careful as
it may cause an allergic reaction. There's no one solution for everyone. </li>

<span style="font-size: 12px;">After selling jerseys on eBay to pay his mortgage, Doug Duguay launched BicyclingHub from his home in 2001 after a productive six-hour coding session. A native of the Pacific Northwest, Doug’s passion for cycling already had plenty of momentum when he moved to Portland, the town that inspired him to take up all manner of racing, from cyclocross and track to road and stage races. He considers starting BicyclingHub a lucky accident, and while running a business has cut into some of his training time, he’s chasing the idea of a race comeback--something he contemplates while climbing Portland’s west hills. Doug is BicyclingHub’s resident bibshort expert.</span></td>

You have to hand it to Lance, he hasn't gone into hiding post doping. He's out saying he's sorry to many of the people he insulted and tried to destroy. Maybe he's motivated by the thought of returning to competition? Perhaps he's genuinely sorry for what he did? Maybe it's part of a therapy prescribed by a therapist?<br />
