Mountain bike time

Under-reported by the mainstream press, road, mountain, and cross bike races are in full bloom this time of year. About the only thing that has the media time it deserves in the US is Le Tour. All the rest, the Gran Fondos, Giros, tours of everywhere, downhill, cyclocross, cross country, are virtually ignored by the TV folks. It's difficult to find consistent written pieces in the local newspapers. If it weren't for the internet and the various magazines out there, it is entirely possible that the sport of cycling, in general, would be almost completely unknown in this country.

Here are some sources for you to check out, both print and internet:

• cyclingdirt
  
• velonews
  
• Mountain Bike Magazine
• Mountain Bike Action
  
• Bike Mag
  
• Dirt Rag
  
• Transcend Magazine-Downhill at its best

There are, of course, more ezines, print places, and websites to explore. These are a few, and should help you keep up with what is going on in the cycling world.
