Mary's Biking Adventure 2003 I'll be the one who looks like she shouldn't try biking around the block, let alone across the country. Traveling through central Texas the terrain starts to feel like the alps, but this is actually the famous "hill country." This diverse area serves some great bar-b-que, as well as being the training ground for Lance Armstrong." Read lots more interesting details about our route here.

Cross-country bike ride - The route The Trail follows secondary roads, away from cities (Charlottesville, Virginia, and Pueblo, Colorado were the largest places I visited on the Trail) and it is probably the single most popular route for biking across the country. In Charlottesville I connected up with the Transamerica Trail, a coast-to-coast bicycle route established by the folks at Adventure Cycling Association (formerly Bikecentennial) in 1976. All the routes through the Rockies were open by the time we got there and apart from one day of snow and cold rain, the weather in the mountains was fine. www.biketouring.net /rides/xcountry/route.html   (2241 words)

Letter to Mr John Richards, Cambridgeshire County Council - 27 November 2001 This pleasant cross-country route, more gently sloping than Madingley Hill and away from the noise and fumes of the motor traffic, was favoured by a significant majority of people in Hardwick according to the survey organised by the Hardwick Cycling Campaign. If there are to be no traffic lights here, cyclists will need to have priority across the road, traffic waiting on the Coton road needs stop behind the cycle lane, this needs to be clearly indicated by signs and road markings, and visibility at the corners needs to be improved, e.g. The latter will also be dangerous with cyclists trying to cross the fast-moving traffic (no speed limit here), albeit with a central refuge. www.hardwick-cambs.org.uk /hcc/ccc039.htm   (385 words)

Articles - Downhill cycling The bikes used in downhilling tend to be heavier than cross-country bikes, and almost always feature dual-suspension (both front and back), whereas cross-country bikes are more generally hardtails (front suspension only). As the name of this discipline implies, DH races are held in steep, downhill terrain, resulting in higher speed than in cross-country racing. Downhill cycling (DH) is a gravity-assisted time trial mountain biking event. www.mountainbikescenter.com /articles/Downhill_cycling   (552 words)

Snowdon Bridleways The Snowdon Downhill Collective is very concerned that the two distinct activities of timed downhill riding, which is generally confined to purpose built trails, and down hill riding on recreational and cross country routes are being treated as being the same activity. If downhill riding is done when other paths users are likely to be met, the use of a more traditional cycling helmet and clothing might go some way to dissipate the impression a walker might have that they have just encountered some 'speed crazed loon' who lives for danger. Opportunities for challenging and spiritually uplifting off-road cycling in the area are limited and the proposed prohibition of cycling on Mt. Snowdon would be a serious, and in my opinion unjustifiable, degradation of the already limited access cyclists have to off-road paths in the area. www.motorcarnage.org.uk /thebikezone/campaigning/offroad/snowdon.html   (6584 words)

mtbchick women's cycling issues- downhilling by Tammy Granted, you can race beginner downhill in a regular cross country helmet, but be aware that you have an exposed face and lower jaw area in that situation, and if you do crash, try to protect those areas. As I have a rather smallish head, I actually use a child's motocross helmet. Most downhill course obstacles are designed to be easier taken with a little speed, and if you happen to have a longer travel bike, it will handle a lot more than you might think. www.mtbchick.com /womenscycling_downhill.html   (2011 words)

www.cyclingnews.com news and analysis The Madison carnival, which boasts a dynamic atmosphere that seems to be a bit of a cross between a small town track race, a running fixture, an agricultural show, a country fair and an international track carnival, dates back to 1947 when the Commonwealth Athletic Club started the Bendigo Thousand Gift meeting. In 1972, the two service clubs formed a committee to restructure the event and in 2001 the carnival was recognised by the Australian Cycling Federation as the best run cycling carnival in that year.

"The Making of a Vehicular Cyclist Dianne does little cycling but is a good hiker, cross-country skier and canoeist.

BBC - Health - Ask the doctor - Hip replacement and sport Some surgeons also gave the OK to hiking, skiing (alpine, not cross-country), speed walking, ice skating, tennis, ballet and aerobics. If things are going well after about six months, you can start recreational cycling and light sports such as golf or ballroom dancing, but you should be careful about putting too much pressure on your new hip for at least a year. However, this advice varies depending on your own fitness levels and general progress after the operation, as well as the type of new hip. www.bbc.co.uk /health/ask_the_doctor/hipreplacementsport.shtml   (1442 words)

Non downhill brakes used while going downhill? I read a lot of brakes are sold as cross country brakes and specifically stated NOT for use in downhill events. They are referring to a specific type of "downhill" mountain bike racing that involves "all out racing down a long, steep technical course."
