Cycling The World: Pedal-powered Journeys

Cycling The World: Pedal-powered Journeys – Ride Like King began in 2009 as a small event at Giant Group to celebrate company founder King Liu’s passion for cycling. In 2007, at the age of 73, King prepared for and completed a 15-day 927 km ride around Taiwan. That ride sparked a renewed interest in King’s own cycling lifestyle and the benefits cycling can have on health, fitness and the environment.

Now in its 16th year, Ride Like Kingbrings brings people together from around the world to participate in virtual group rides on Zwift and individual rides in their communities to support World Bicycle Relief. “RLK16” invites riders everywhere to help ride for a better world on May 17-19.

Essential Apps For Modern Backpackers

Essential Apps For Modern Backpackers – While the ubiquitous FarOut (formerly Guthooks) is a great tool for long-distance travel with well-documented and popular reviews, many backpackers spend their time on short weekend trips in areas not covered by guidebook-style programs. However, if this is you, then the lack of a fully organized guide does not mean that paper maps are your best choice for navigation as your grandfather might suggest. Modern GPS software with loadable features has come a long way since the ‘good old days’.

In the last decade, digital map services have grown beyond paper map copies and have become effective tools for planning and analysis. I call this group of applications “full service” GPS platforms, which provide weather information at a national and/or international level.
