In 2022, the Granfondo Stelvio Santini turns 10 and is celebrating that major milestone with a special jersey dedicated to a decade that saw its participant numbers and emotional impact burgeon. Irishman Fergus Niland, Santini’s Creative Director, has created a new graphic in which the number 10 replaces the last two letters in the word Stelvio to underscore the significance of this edition. This is a sustainable jersey too as it comprises two Polartec fabrics made from recycled PET bottles.

All participants will be asked to wear the special new jersey throughout the race so that they can all celebrate this 10th outing for the Granfondo Stelvio Santini together.

No Comments on Overtraining probably isn’t behind your weight loss plateau – here’s why

When it comes to improving our physical fitness, the time you don’t spend exercising (often known as “recovery”) is as important as the exercise and training you do. Not only is recovery important for anyone who wants to build muscle mass, but taking enough time to recover between training sessions is also important for avoiding “overtraining” – a form of extreme fatigue where recovery can take weeks to years to occur.

1 Comment on What are the Alternatives to Chain Lubes

Road bike chain lube — Bike chain lube is essential in protecting the chain from wear and tear. It also helps in making your rides smooth. With a protected bike chain, you are capable of applying the gears smoothly and it also helps the chain last longer. You can select either to use the wet or dry lube depending on the conditions you wish to ride in. Also, most riders tend to apply a large amount of lube on the chain. This is a problem as it creates a build-up of grime. The grime is what causes deterioration along the drivetrain or any other part that the excess lube drips. We, therefore, recommend that you apply only the necessary amount of chain lube. Image: Media24

Have you ever wondered if you could make your own chain lube? Yes, technically. You may lubricate your bike chain with any oil, although some work better than others. Here are the alternatives to chain lubes.
