De Ronde Salem: The Garmin tcx course file
April 16, 2011

We've created a Garmin file (.tcx format) ready for any Garmin cycling computer that does mapping (305, 705, 800, etc) and it reflects the changes we've made in the past couple weeks since the pre-ride. This is the route we'll be taking tomorrow and corresponds to the latest cue sheets in the previous post.

How to watch UCI World Cup cycling events live in the US
January 16, 2010

If you've ever watched live and on-demand cycling at Cycling.tv, you've probably noticed this year their UCI Cyclocross World Cup series is no longer available in the US (probably since a network bought the rights?). There is a way to watch and pay the same fees but skirt the country-based restriction. You just do the following:

  1. Pay for a Canadian IP from the Premium Proxy options at Xroxy.
  2. Configure a second web browser using their instructions. Test it out on whatismyip.com to make sure it's different than your primary one. Load google.com and watch yourself get redirected to google.ca (that means it worked!)
  3. Go to cycling.tv with your new canadian IP, sign up for the premium package that includes UCI events.
  4. Wake up at 7:20am EST/4:20am PST Sunday mornings to start watching the Women's Elite race, with Men starting an hour and 20min later by simply logging into cycling.tv on your candian IP address browser.

New Buy Local site
June 05, 2009

We've just unwrapped the new site this week, with a design inspired by our team kit, which was designed by the brilliant Naz at Weightshift. There are still a few display bugs and some content that needs to be added, but otherwise we're good to go.

If you spot anything that seems out of place, feel free to drop a comment here.
