Food for thought

A staple of many cyclist and endurance athlete's diet- rice can be a great way to replenish carb stores and fuel your training. But this article shows maybe its a good time to think about where your rice is coming from...

Just Landed- Horizon Watches!!

We are very pleased to bring another seriously cool product to the LeadOut store in the form of Horizon watches. 

HORIZON Watches was founded in April 2012, by 5 brothers with a shared vision, to create a brand greater than the sum of its parts.   
That brand is bold, new and original.  That brand is HORIZON.   
Mixing our combined interests of Skate, BMX, Mountain Biking , Motocross and Snowboard we created a brand infused with a sense of all these things.  Perfectly styled to suit the requirements of these passions and tough enough to withstand all the elements - water, earth and air...  (Ok, so we’re working on fire proof.) 
The brand might be new to the scene, but we’re not.  We're already making quick headway from sponsoring our own Athletes, across many different disciplines (BMX, MTB, Motor racing, Snowboard, and more!) to being official sponsors of different sporting events.

Introducing you to a new world!!


Strava!!


I am sure many of you are aware of Strava and its addictiveness but for those of you who are yet to get involved in the social media revolution..
Ok so there are a lot of very keen and competitive runners and cyclists out there- wouldn't it be great if you could see how you stack up against your friends and even pros on the local 10mile commute route or your 50mile Sunday ride course?

Well Strava has been around for a little while now and I am hooked! You need a GPS device or the Strava app on you iPhone and our QuadLock mount and then you can upload workouts to the site and see how you compare- it will rank you over popular segments over the course you rode or run such as a challenging hill or long straight drag. You can then head out on your next ride and try and PB. There are a lot of cool challenges on there to get involved with, and you can also track how much training some of the pros do also- mind blowing
Warning though it is addictive! www.strava.com

Get into the revolution with our bike mount

ILE hand-made bags in the U.K!


Our friends at another young company VAM Performance have recently agreed to distribute a range of backpacks in the U.K. The bags are hand-made in sunny California and seem to be top quality. In the range is a bag made specifically for cyclists and ideal for commuters and racers alike to transport their gear around in style! There is also a version for keen photographers, designed to carry the expensive cameras and lenses in all weathers and in serious comfort. Moreover there are 2 bags for everyday use with some cool functions like laptop sleeves and water-proof compartments.

One of the custom versions... we like!


We saw the first bags the other day and were very impressed with the quality and style. We are seriously looking at selling these bags ourselves so please let us know what you think! Until then for more info on the bags and also the possibility to order fully custom versions with whatever colour scheme and branding you wish contact Alex from VAM: alex@vamperformance.com

Or get your hands on one NOW
