The Complete Guide to Climbing (By Bike) The Complete Guide to Climbing (By Bike)

So if you are that dude or dudette who is seeking to climb some of the craziest passes in the United States and don't know how to go about it, then you need this book. Consider it the Bible if you will, because it has all the major road climbs and details about each from Lincoln Gap to Brasstown Bald. All the details are there: total elevation, average gradient, length and category. A few scenic shots are included as well as a map of the surrounding area so you can actually find the road. It's a cool book that should be kept in your glovebox, or in your back pocket if you are that crazy to seek each one by bike. Mmm...Not a bod idea! --Road Magazine

Levi Wins Tour of CaliforniaLevi Leipheimer Wins the Amgen Tour of California

Levi finished in the main peloton in Sunday's final stage of the Amgen Tour of California to win by 49 seconds.  Team Slipstream riders David Millar and Christian Vande Velde finished 2nd and 3rd respectively, 49" and 1' 08" behind Levi.

This was Leipheimer's 2nd consecutive win in the early season California race.

Amgen Tour of California

  Stage 7 (Final) - Sunday

For the first time, the final stage of the 2008 Amgen Tour of California was a point-to-point course from Santa Clarita to Pasadena where the race concluded with six circuits around the iconic Rose Bowl in front of a boisterous crowd that lined the streets despite cold, wet Hincapie wins the Rose Bowlweather. A ten-man break initiated by Rock Racing's Mike Creed took off early in the stage with the right mix of riders, none of whom was a threat to the top of the GC. With Astana's Levi Leiphemier comfortably in the overall lead, the break's advantage grew, but never by more than a few minutes.

The weather got worse as the riders approached the circuits around the Rose Bowl, which seemed to benefit the break. Bissell's Tom Zirbel, a gifted time trial rider, attacked the break and jetted on a solo flight. He managed to hold off the splintered chase group until the final lap. Creed, HealthNet's Rory Sutherland, CSC's Jason McCartney and High Road's George Hincapie countered and settled the day in a thrilling dash to the line. One of America's most popular riders, Hincapie claimed the top prize as winner of Stage 7, sponsored by Amgen. Hincapie won two stages at the first Amgen Tour of California two years ago.

Profiles in Confusion
This is a follow-up to last month’s column, Altitude Sickness. It probably would work better if you have already read the previous piece. If you haven’t read it yet, now’s the time to do so...

In that column, I explored the topic of altimeters, and the business of recording elevation gain on our climbs. After a more-or-less superficial introduction, I turned things over to my friend Lou Salz, a smart engineer with a keen interest in logging bike ride data.

Bona Fide Legal Counsel
Everybody has a favorite lawyer joke. But no one laughs when cyclists find themselves in need of a good lawyer. When you or someone you know gets hit by a car, who you gonna call? Especially when you know you're in the right and that *&O$# driver was totally wrong.

In California, Gary Brustin gets a lot of those calls. With offices in both Santa Monica and San Jose, Gary covers the entire state as "The Bicycle Lawyer." ...more
