Rochester Flyers has an article that lists various different online contests to win all sorts of cool bicycling prizes.
The contests are hosted by blogs like RideStrong.com to magazines like Men’s Health and Bicycling.
The prizes range from full suspension mountain bikes to new Trek road bikes and $10,000.00 cash to a Garmin 305 GPS cycle computer.
So go check out the article and then follow the links to enter the contests. Hopefully this will become a regular round up over at Rochester Flyers.
Happy Cycling
I’ve been meaning to get a post up about this site for some time and I’m just now getting around to it.
Ride-Strong.com is a fairly new site but you wouldn’t know it by looking at it. They have a lot going on over there.
- T-Shirt Give Aways
- Colnago Carbon bike give away
- If you send them a shirt or some swag from your shop or site they will do a write up about it and then give away your logo stuff to readers. So you get double exposure.
- Great cycling articles as well.
Ride-Strong.com’s creator Tyler Ford left his job as a loan officer at a bank to build up RoadBikeRides.com and Ride-Strong.com. He also sponsors two Tucson Arizona cycling teams.
Tyler has done a great job building this site and I’m sure it will continue to grow. So head over there and try to win a bike, a shirt, or some other swag.

This just in….RoadBikeRides.com launched its beta today. So go check it out too and start adding your favorite road ride routes.
Winter just seems to be dragging on and on here and I just want to ride. I’m not the only one feeling that way either. Noah over at Blue Collar Mountain Biking wrote about his fix for sloppy unridable trails in his piece, Chomping at the bit? Go Urban.
Another solution to this issue is Ray’s Indoor Mountain Bike Park. Ray’s is currently the worlds only indoor mountain bike facility (according to my research and a CNN piece from 2006).
Ray’s provides a year round riding venue for mountain bike riders of all skill levels. There is a large beginner area, a pump track, and several different areas for more advanced riding.
They hold special events like manufacturer demos with pro riders and skills camps for kids. Pro riders from all over travel there to get in quality practice when the weather is preventing them from riding elsewhere.
It really surprises me that Ray’s is the only indoor park of its kind. This seems like such a great idea to me. I know it was not a small undertaking and took a large commitment in time and money to make it happen. I assumed before I started researching for this article that their would have been three or four such places in the U.S. alone and maybe a few in Europe, but I was wrong.
So if your really jones’n for a ride and the trails are sloppy where you live gather up your friends and plan a trip to rays.
So I had a bicycles and beer epiphany over the weekend. They go together so well and there are so many products that help it fit even better. Post ride libations are great and Guinness is rocket fuel.
So here is a run down of some of the bikes and booze fusion products that are out there today.
So everyone get out there and ride and share some cold ones with friends. You should also share your favorite post ride “recovery” drink in the comments.
