This belt was crucial during the hot summer months of training. What I loved most about the belt was that the bottles were 10 oz, whereas my Fuel Belt only fit 6 oz bottles. I only needed to carry 4 bottles versus 6, which also meant easier cleaning. The other thing I enjoyed was that […]

Have been testing a set of insoles from Archmolds from the crew at Runningfree.com. So far have put in about 400km of offroad mileage on them. When it comes to mountain biking shoes they definetly help. Especially when it’s tough to make stiff soled shoes comfortable for long periods of time.
