For those of you in the Metro-Detroit area that haven't heard of Piedmontese Beef, why haven't you been to Red Coat???!!? This great tavern on Woodward in Royal Oak not only introduced me to the Piedmontese hamburger but it also has great beer.

Beef? Hamburgers? Have I gone crazy and fallen off the nutrition bandwagon? Well, maybe... but it's not because of Piedmontese beef!

Per piedmontese.org, Piedmontese beef was:

My Second Ironman Race – November 29, 2009 Cozumel, Mexico

The days leading up to an Ironman can be stressful. Adding international travel and foreign language to the mix adds to the anxiety. I was more nervous about this race than my first Ironman. However, once my bike was back in my possession after our several flights and layovers, I felt some weight lifted off my shoulders. We arrived in Cozumel on Thursday to wind ...

Hi.

This is not something I usually do, but Jared suggested I post this here.

I know there are a few of us that will be doing St. Anthony's Triathlon on April 25, 2010. I know some that are doing it with Team In Training, and some that are training on their own. Either way, it is always good to have someone to train with.

Reply to this post if you are planning on participating in the event and we'll see if we can all get together sometime!

I stopped at the booth to ...

Let me set the stage for this review. I am a runner and a triathlete that sweats more than anyone I know. I have consistently had issues with sweat getting into my eyes and stinging them and I have tried many different solutions including running with a towel, using my shirt to wipe the sweat out of my eyes, using the bandanna-ish type solutions, and just manning up and taking the stinging in my eyes ...

All of us have let ourselves go at times, some a bit more than others. Or perhaps, you never had anything to “let go of” in the first place. Regardless of the situation, we all know that eating healthy and exercising is the best way to lose weight and keep it off. If you have decided that now is the time for you to get in shape, there are literally thousands of resources available to ...

That title may be a tad too heavily worded but in this article, South Florida cycling groups band together to end confrontations with motorists, you'll see that cyclists are working together to end violent confrontations. Sort of like a really nice biker gang... ;)

Cycling groups are on a mission to end confrontations with motorists.

They're policing their own ranks. Leaders in group rides are making sure ...

I was thinking about checking this out, but wanted to know if anyone else on here uses Fraser's lab http://fraserbicycle.com/articles/watta ... -pg180.htm and how their experience went? Did you go there on your own or did you use one of the "coaches"?
