Horizontal vs. Vertical bike fitness: your fitness in two dimensions
Competitive cyclists most often worry about and try to increase their threshold power putting much stock in this number and less if any thought into the ability to repeat a given effort. Consider this… you’re in a race, attack 40K into it and stay off the front averaging 325 watts (103% of your threshold power) [...]
Winter Training
I’m not sure how I even got here. It’s a weeknight in the middle of January and I’m standing in the parking lot of a non-descript strip mall in Charlotte, North Carolina with my bike in hand, staring at the fog-covered windows of a place called TotalCyclist. What I do know is that I was [...]
Winning in Winter – Building Blocks to set Foundation
Most cyclists have made their list and checked it twice. For many that list was made starting in July with cycling gear as the gift of choice for every birthday, Christmas and holiday resulting in being “gifted up for the next five or six years”. We have all the gear, the temperatures have dropped and [...]
Lost art of the group ride
Every so often, I’ll ride a recreational group ride. I love the comraderie of cyclists, the talk, the last minute pumps of air, the clicking in, and the easy drifting out as a peloton. “I miss riding in a group,” I’ll think to myself. The magic ends by mile 10. The group will surge, gap, [...]
Loss ripples beyond Greenville cycling community
You may have noticed that here at Carolina Cycling News we tend to emphasize road racing. It’s not entirely on purpose. Neil is just a roadie at heart who loves cyclocross while I’m a cycling fan and recreational/commuter rider. Although we don’t get much chance to ride the trails with mountain bikers, we love opportunities [...]
A Metaphor Heavy Cycling Post on a Serious Topic
If you know me, or if you have read this blog, it is readily apparent that I live and breathe cycling. I think it is the most beautiful sport in the world. However, cycling is a fickle and cruel mistress that will not think twice about chewing a rider up and spitting him out on [...]
Hey Andy, Where The Heck Have You Been?
The title of this blog is a great question in and of itself. Since collegiate nationals I have logged numerous miles in all modes of transportation, suffered through two of the hardest one-day races in the world and helped propel Bissell to results that have solidified our standing as the number one continental team in [...]
Southeast Leadout: Summer is here
Memorial Day weekend was packed with racing. We’ve added more photos to our US Pro time trial and road race articles. We also added a video playlist for the time trial. If you enjoyed our US Pro road race live chat or our live chats on Versus.com, you will want to join us for the [...]
Southeast Leadout – Memorial Day Weekend
Team Carolina Cycling News is travelling back to our Upstate headquarters after covering the Amgen Tour of California. Since we covered the Assaults on Marion and Mt Mitchell, we joined the press room crowd starting on Stage 4 – perfectly timed to miss the weather issues plaguing the first few days. We’ll rest up for [...]
2011 US Pro Cycling Championships start list

Last year the championships were held in September and the time trial was Saturday followed on Sunday by [...]
