Yakima Copperhead Bike Mount

Great stability and ergonomics with new fork block design, the Copperhead is a rack to gaze at in quiet awe. Mounts equally well to round or square crossbars and fits all popular tires and rims with new wheeltray and wheelstop. Lockable with SKS cores-sold seperately.
$79.95 
Nice Rack
The Copperhead does everything I need it to do. I haul my bike to trailheads all over the Wasatch Front and Back flawlessly, day after day. One complaint, small, but still: At highway speeds the bikes can get a little shake going...I'm not afraid of them falling off, and it doesn't damage the bikes in any way - but watching a car drive down the road with a 2000 dollar bike on their roof shaking to the wind is a little sketch. I ain't skerd though. Great rack for the price.

Shipping was fast and the Copperhead works great for me. Holds bikes firmly, I'm very pleased.
Glad I found you and the copperhead!
Hello. I am glad I found BackcountryStore.com and the Yakima Copperhead mount. My local retailer said the Copperhead mount was being phased out and that is what I had set my mind on. I found BCS via a YAHOO search and found the mounts there. When I got the mounts I installed them to my system very easily and hauled my Trek and a friends Bianchi to the starting point of our weekly ride. The mounts worked flawlessly and I look forward to dealing with BackcountryStore.com in the future.
Bike Mount
Nice quality. Easy to attach. Bit tricky to get bike into skewer due to the rebound speed adjustment knob on the bottom of the shock.

Training Tips
If you consume 100 calories a day more than you need, you will gain about 10 pounds in a year. A reasonable combination of diet and exercise can help control your weight. The key is to balance your caloric intake with the amount of exercise.
You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
