Ok so the video below is not a cycling video but it is worth watching.
Yesterday was the 2008 Boston Marathon and what a race the women had. In cycling terms the video below is what is called ‘Putting The Hammer Down!’ This is how you finish someone off on the bike.
Watch the video below and picture yourself on the bike instead of running. How about RunStrong!

DENNY VAUGHAN OF SUMMIT VELO TAKES YELLOW ON BOTH SPRINTS ON TODAYS SHOOTOUT BIKE RIDE!
Pictured above Mr Shootout himself, Ralph Phillips of Fair Wheel Bikes, before the start of the Shootout at University and Euclid this morning.
This morning ride started out fast with Waste Management hitting it hard after the light at Valencia. There were about 8 to 10 Waste Management guys up front putting it down and riding very aggressive which always makes for a fun Shootout.
The pace was fast and steady. The group size this morning was around 75 to 100 cyclist. A lot of cyclists are in Globe, AZ this weekend for a 2 day race but there were still some good engines in the group this morning.
Denny Vaughan of Summit Velo, who is a national champion, had a great Shootout today. Denny won the sprint up the hill and also took the sprint coming back into town. It is has been a long time since I can remember where the same person took both the hill sprint and the sprint coming back into town. Great job Denny!
Brian Cornelius of Waste Management was also a notable rider today. Brian took 2nd in both the sprint hill and the sprint into town.
The sprint coming back into town was lead out by Waste Management. They had the train going with all of their riders but started the lead out a little too soon. Dan Naef of ProCon Cycling took over and gave Denny Vaughan the perfect lead out and Denny took the sprint followed by Brain Cornelius of Wast Management and Frank Barnes of Summit Velo took 3rd.
For a map of the Shootout check out RoadBikeRides.com.

Hey thanks to all of you that commented on the Infinit Nutrition giveaway! And a BIG thanks to Michael Folan who is the owner of Infinit Nutrition for making the giveaway possible on the cycling blog of Ride-Strong.com™.
I have been training and racing with Infinit Nutrition in my bottles for a couple of weeks and have to say it is good stuff. My next order I am going to increase the calories for the longer rides I have been doing and the cool thing is I can.
And the winner of Infinit giveaway is Cys Bronner. Cys will receive credit with Infinit Nutrition to be able to go in a create his own Infinit Nutrition formula. Congrats to Cys!!
Below is Michael Folan of Infinit response to questions. Just read a couple of posts and thought I might try to help out.
1) We have a bunch of pre-set formulations for whatever type of riding you do. That can be a very good place to start.
2) You can also go to the website and take the interview, that sets the sliders based on body size/weight, sweat rates and history of cramping. It also will take into account what type of riding you are doing. We do formulate differently for a crit vs a century.
3) 90% of our clients have moved away from gels salt pills and energy bars entirely. There really is no reason for them once you have your calories and electrolyte dialed in. You should be able to get all the calories and electrolyte you need right in your formula and have it taste exactly how you want. I work with 24 hour riders (Pua Sawicki for example) and they are exclusivly on liquids. Easier to digest and a little protein keeps you from getting hungry.
Feel free to e-mail me if you guys have any questions. infinit-nutrition@cinci.rr.com. Glad to help you out.
