Today we are featuring a saddle from Fizik, a tool from Topeak, news from USAT, a seat post from Lynskey Performance, a cancer ride in Texas and an insane sandwich. Enjoy.

Fizik Ares

What: The Fizik Ares is a slightly shorter version of the Fizik Antares and features the same wide nose. The Ares is an interesting alternative to a triathlon specific saddle.
Weight: 161 grams
MSRP: $179.99
Website: www.fizik.it




Topeak Alien 3

What: The Topeak Alien 3 features 25 different tools in one “small” package. Why even bother with a tool box when you can just have one tool?
Weight: 272 grams
MSRP: $49
Website: www.topeak.com




USA Triathlon http://usatriathlon.org/news/article/15005

What: The annual membership of USA Triathlon recently surpassed 125,000. That is a 14.2 percent increase since the end of 2008 when membership stood at 107,231.

Lynskey Performance post

What: A light titanium post without any weight restrictions and a simple 2 bolt design.

Texas Mamma Jamma Ride

What: The Texas Mamma Jamma Ride against cancer is on October 10 in Austin, Texas. That is the day of the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii, but there is no reason why you couldn’t support this ride and still catch the action in Hawaii. If nothing else, you can buy the jersey at Mellow Johnny’s.
Date: October 10
MSRP: $80 for the jersey
Website: www.mammajammaride.org




Rubik Cubewich

What: The Rubik Cubewich contains cubes of pastrami, kielbasa, pork fat, salami, and two types of cheddar.
