Robbie McEwen has travelled to the United States only three times in the past 20 years but his current trek with his son Ewan is the first time the three-time Tour de France green jersey winner hasn't visited in order to compete.
The journey, an extended "boys' trip" to California, has taken the duo sightseeing to several Los Angeles landmarks, and it still has plenty to do with cycling. While his son pedalled to different attractions, McEwen worked in his new position as a "global ambassador” in the InfoCrank booth at the Sea Otter Classic. It’s a new power meter offered by Verve Cycling.
"Training with power is something I've always been interested in," said McEwen, 42, before an autograph session. "The left-and-right balance is super important and I've always had an imbalance due to injuries, especially in the past few years.

"I broke my leg in 2009, so my left leg has always been the problem child. A product like this gives you such accurate information of what the imbalance is and with some of the new tweaks it's going to have, it's going to give you even more information about the imbalances you may have. You can know what's going wrong and go about fixing it so you can improve."
Taylor Phinney
McEwen has also taken a keen interest in the recovery of Taylor Phinney, the BMC rider who broke his leg at the 2014 US National Championships.
