Gamjams Review: Secret Weapon

Is it the socks? Or the shoes? That's his old bike in the picture, so maybe it's the trainer.


Nah, man. It's the legs.

As Indurain once quipped to Lance as the peloton's new boss bragged about a new TT rig, "No se olvide de las piernas."

That's the real secret, is it not? New bikes and wheels and shoes and helmets - they're all hype, though without a doubt they give us one more reason to clip in for a ride to try a new toy.

That pair of gams propelling those wheels, though, it is both the strongest and weakest link. And it's always a secret.

Last night I was at Hains for about one hour and fifty minutes. Was I soft-pedaling? Was I suffering? The other racers at the start line will never know.
