Tuning Up Your Bike for Spring Riding For those of us who put our bikes away for the winter, the time has come to dust them off and get ready to ride. When bringing a bike out of storage, a mini tune-up is necessary. Pay special attention to the following four areas: chain, derailleur components, brakes, and wheels.~~Chain~~If you have been using an oil-based lubricant, consider switching to a wax-based product. The only advantage to an oil-based lubricant is that it needs to be applied less frequently, but in every other way, wax-based is superior. For instance, oil collects trail dust and other things abrasive to the chain, whereas wax sheds abrasives. A recommended wax-based lube is White Lightning.If you've been using oil-based chain lube, whether you want to switch to wax or not, you should remove the chain and clean it with a solvent to degrease it before adding fresh lubricant. Depending on your typical riding conditions, using a solvent to degrease the chain needs to be done once a year at a minimum.~~Derailleur Components~~Lubricate the pivot points using a good petroleum-based lube.

How to Plan a Weekend during Cheltenham Festival Event The Cheltenham Festival is the main event in the National Hunt racing calendar in the United Kingdom which takes place every March at Cheltenham Racecourse. The first Cheltenham Festival was held in 1902 at Prestbury Park, Cheltenham, which still remains the same venue for the festival today. It is where many of the best British and Irish trained horses' race against each other to claim the coveted prize and be regarded as the best chasers or hurdlers for that year. Huge amounts of money are bet during festival week, with hundreds of millions of pounds being gambled over the four days. Cheltenham is often noted for its atmosphere, most notably the "Cheltenham roar", which refers to the enormous amount of noise that the crowd achieves once the first race goes off. Cheltenham betting especially in the Champion Hurdle, The Foxhunters and the Champion Bumper reaches colossal amounts as punters pile into the best horses and gambles of the year. Other races that grab the public's attention are the Triumph Hurdle, Ryanair Chase, Supreme Novices' Hurdle, Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle, Arkle...more
