Here are images, and a competitor’s account, of the race this past weekend held in Tempe, Arizona.

CADEX road tubless wheels/tires do not leak down, period, even with no sealant? Why? I determined to find out.

This throwaway beer bet, a semi-joke proposed on 2008, will start in 4 weeks. Stock up on your Elevons, Endorphins, Ghosts, and Pegasi.

Like Trek and Cervelo before it, Orbea reimagined a tri bike through the prism of the user, and designed with that in mind. Seems logical.

The Slowtwitch Compound stands. But not by much. We’re an earth exclave inside a moonscape.

Our multisport events memorialize skills we learn when their need was “for real.” There is no more poignant example than the Gorée Island race.

Triathletes and Pro Tour Classics riders share similar needs. CADEX, of the Giant Group, just made a tire that may pique your interest.

Cervelo’s new road bike has more in common with gravel bikes than road bikes, geometrically. This is a futuretrend.

It’s quite worthy as a standalone gravel racer, but my primary reason for the OBED Boundary build was as a bikepacker.

Like gravel bars made by Zipp, ENVE and 3T, this design motif will inform drop bar design, for gravel and road.

The major upgrades: auto-calibrate, and AXIS Feet (really cool) which are also available as old KICKR retrofits

I’m downsizing. I want a gravel and a road bike all-in-one. This is another example, following Cervelo’s Caledonia and the OBED Boundary.
