One of the conversations I have with racers, whether they’re riding mountain, gravel, or road bikes, is their coffee plan before their race starts. How much coffee do you have? When to drink it? How much is too much? More than that, how do you plan on brewing coffee wherever the race is at? Let’s jump into this and explore how to get the most out of your coffee experience before your race begins … (read more: https://bit.ly/3wxPqcM) #mountainbiking #mountainbiker #coffeeoutside #mobilecoffee

As we know 58 kms isn't for everyone we decided to bring a shorter event with a unique take on the traditional age grouping - weight categories. Short, sharp, and intense—the Commuter 1K Sprint is designed to challenge your speed, power, and mental toughness. Taking place in West Vancouver, this 1,000-meter race is for those who want to leave it all on the course, whether you’re a seasoned runner or someone looking to challenge yourself in a supportive environment. What makes the Commuter 1K unique is its structure. Instead of dividing participants by age, we’re organizing the race by weight categories, adding a fresh twist to the traditional format. This ensures a level playing field, where power and strategy play a crucial role in the race's outcome. The Course The course is designed for pure speed, with a relatively flat profile that allows participants to focus on maximizing their sprinting potential. But don’t let the short distance fool you—this race is about pushing yourself to the limit. It’s an all-out effort from start to finish, testing both your speed and your ability to handle the pressure of a high-stakes sprint. Creating the Event Atmosphere Organizing the Commuter 1K comes with its own challenges. To create an atmosphere that’s exciting for both participants and spectators, we’re working hard to bring on board sponsors, local vendors, and partners who can elevate the event experience. From having food trucks and live music to ensuring that participants have access to the best recovery services post-race, we want to make the Commuter 1K a memorable, high-energy event that becomes a staple in the local racing calendar. This event isn’t just about competing—it’s about building a community of people who love to challenge themselves and have fun doing it. And after the race, you can count on The Cove’s recovery services to help you bounce back and get ready for your next challenge.

May is National Bike Month and now is the time to kick your planning into high gear. This is a great theme to engage members (retention) by energizing your studio cycling program and creating some outdoor ride opportunities. This is also an easy theme for creating lead generation activities and community partnerships. Key Dates for National Bike Month 🚲 May 5 - National Ride a Bike Day (Star Wars day too, great combo opportunity) May 16 - Bike To Wherever Day, some areas still call it Bike to Work Day Here are a few ideas to help engage members and the community taking advantage of bike month: 1. Hold a bicycle safety class for kids. 2. Make National Ride a Bike Day a huge party in your cycle classes - themes, class length, dress up, prizes and food. 3. Lead an outdoor bike ride from your location or partner with a local bike shop and launch from there. Do short distance, easy all comers rides. 4. For Bike Wherever Day - find out who is sponsoring the one in your area and see if you can have an energy station at your Club. In the bay area it's Bike Eastbay as an example. 5. Partner with a local bike shop and have them come in to do a tire changing class or a clinic on DYI Spring Bike Tune Up. 6. In your studio program do a series of training rides that leads up to an organized outdoor ride. Four Weeks to Your First 100K Ride, idea. Have fun and enjoy the ride. Here is the website to the oldest bicycle organization in the country. Lots of great information available. https://lnkd.in/gKuxfdCZ

🏁 We are still thinking about this year's 25th Goodwood Revival Anniversary, the weekend could be summed with "We use the past to write the future." 🚗✨ It was a weekend filled with cherished nostalgia and heartwarming memories. However, anyone who believes that this was merely a step back in time would be mistaken. His Grace, the Duke of Richmond, managed to create an absolutely unique time machine 🕰️ in two ways: a weekend immersed in a glorious period of cars, stars, parties, and stunning vintage outfits. But also a glimpse into the future with races powered by fossil free fuels.  🌿⚡ Welcome to the future of automotive excellence! Renewable, carbon-neutral fuels are not just the future of classic cars but the entire automotive industry. 🌍🚗 We are poised to witness an exciting shift towards more e-fuel-powered races and an increasing number of drivers adopting them as an environmentally conscious alternative in their daily lives. Katarina Kyvalova, who impressed us all with her P1 synthetic fuel performance at the Mille Miglia, also raced on fossil free fuel at the Goodwood Revival this year. Her enthusiasm shines through as she encourages fellow car enthusiasts and racers to take the leap: "I can only encourage all my fellow car lovers and racers to give it a try." 🏁👏 Let's drive towards a sustainable automotive future together! 🌟🚀 #GoodwoodRevival #P1Fuels #fossilfree #advancedsyntheticfuels #efuels  #sustainablefuel #renewablefuel #greentech https://lnkd.in/eDzKx__Q

One of my favourite #bicycle developments over the last years is most definitely Swapfiets. I have had the pleasure to work with them on creating a program to make their dream, the '#circular #bike' a reality a few years ago and got infected by the idea that bike #riders deserve a better bicycle, and most important, better #service than they usually get. This video tells their story like never before. And the impact on #circularity? The fact that the bike remains the #responsibility of Swapfiets means that they have all the reason ánd means to optimise the Total Cost of Ownership (#TCO). Do this with circularity in mind and you have the best platform to make real progress. Longer lasting products with fewer issues, easier #maintenance and #repairs and proper end-of-life scenarios like #reuse (of bikes ánd parts), #refurbishment, #remanufacturing and #recycling. Keep up the good work guys, dan wordt het nóg beter 😉 PeopleForBikes Shift Cycling Culture Anchor Asia (Anchor Taiwan) #circulareconomy #design #circularrevolution
