Thanks to Specialized for a glimpse into the 2013 Sea Otter Downhill finals. It funny watching all the downhillers struggle to come up with complimentary euphemisms for “this is the most boring, silliest downhill we ride all year.” For example, the top six guys finished in the same half second.

Nothing like taking a pre-run on the helmet of the Santa Cruz Syndicate, huh? The 2013 Sea Otter Downhill should be good.

Here’s a little reminder of some Campagnolo history from Campy North American General Manager Tom Kattus. The video is three years old, but it’s always nice to hear a good story from a great guy. Oh, and if you’re in Southern California this weekend, check out the Campagnolo San Diego Gran Fondo kicking off in Little Italy. The expo is open Saturday April 13, 2013 and the ride kicks off early on Sunday, April 14, 2013.

Yesterday (April 7, 2013) Fabian Cancellara won his third Paris-Roubaix and his second classic in as many Sundays (back to back Flanders and Paris-Roubaix). But he didn’t run away with this one. It came down to classic track tactics against Sep Vanmarcke. Watch carefully and you’ll see exactly how Cancellara played Vanmarcke all the way to the line. To watch the entire race, follow the jump.

Ricardo Camargo of Vapor Studio, just tipped us in on a new project he’s working on called Lit, by NZN labs. Lit is an action tracker that no only keeps track of all your walking and running, but also cycling, mountain biking, snowboarding, and skateboarding and pulls it all together for some social competition as well. Camargo and his partners are currently trying to raise $100,000 for the project on a site called Indigogo.
LIT’s advanced sensors analyze your movements 24×7, scoring both activity and action by interpreting steps, distance, duration, intensity, strokes, paddles, jumps, rotations, turns, g-force, airtime, and more. . . Earn points for activity and bonuses for action. Points become the currency used to challenge yourself, your friends, and the world. . . LIT is 24×7 wearable and built to go where you go. Snow, surf, dirt, pavement? No problem. LIT is built for extremes. It’s rugged, shock resistant, and water resistant to 10 ATM / 100 m.
It’s like Strava for the rest of your action life. NZN Labs has already raised $27,000 but in the next 30 days they need going to need $70,000 more. To see how you can participate and help make Lit a reality, click the link.

We realize that all good people were getting a good night’s sleep in preparation for Easter Sunday celebrations and religious services and may not have been able to stay up all night watching the 2013 Tour of Flanders, so, without any spoilers (forget you already know who won) here is the entire Eurosport coverage of the race.
