Misery. Perspective. One sometimes brings about the other. I often find myself seeking out miserable situations, typically outdoors, in order to find perspective, as these situations have a unique way of sorting out the things that really matter in life.

The AluBOOYAH ski mountaineering bike has been 6 months in the making; and draws inspiration from a recent winter trip to Torreys Peak, a 14,275-foot peak in Clear Creek, Colorado.

Custom gave way to cost effective offerings or “standard” race bikes costing over ten grand. But Richard Sachs, Craig Calfee, and their contemporaries – including Boo! – are far … Read More »

It was impossible to miss the giant black school bus with gold lettering on the side as I rolled up to the start/finish area to sign in for Friday afternoon’s race at Devou Park. It had a better parking spot than even the Rapha – Focus and Cannondale teams, within sight of the finish line and with a prime view … Read More »

The neon lights of the Vegas strip glittered on the horizon, barely visible through the spotlights surrounding the perimeter of the soccer complex where the strongest field the United States cyclocross scene will see was gathered. For the first time, a reigning world champion – Sven Nys – was on the start line, along with multiple time world champion Bart … Read More »

There is a growing crispness to the air and the attention of racers and fans alike is turning away from summer criteriums and mountain bike races and towards thoughts of the mud and barriers of cyclocross. With the season about to begin, Boo Bicycles and TrainingPeaks are excited to announce co-sponsorship of a professional cyclocross team for the 2013-2014 season. … Read More »

Halfway up the climb in the Vail Time Trial, a throng of people teemed around a large flatscreen TV mounted on the side of an old school bus. Andrew Talansky, the young rider on team Garmin-Sharp, had just set a time so quick in Stage 5 of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge that only Tejay van Garderen would top it … Read More »
