It's Rideable!

In the season finale, we break down every recurring ride that Case of the Mondays hosts — what to expect, when they happen, what pace and distance to anticipate, and how to show up prepared. From the original Monday morning ride to the Wednesday evening community rides, Femmes Fridays, monthly Saturday rides, the new beginner series, and the debut of the Middle Fork Shootout, this episode is the e...

Esther joins the podcast alongside Martin for a wide-ranging conversation about getting into off-road cycling races. They cover how both of them found their way to competitive cycling (through nursing commutes, mountain bike enduro, Wednesday Night Worlds, and a shared $400 gravel bike), what makes each discipline — gravel, cyclocross, XC mountain biking, and enduro — feel different, and how their...

Mike and Lee — longtime friends and COTM regulars — join to tell the story of their 12-day, 900-mile self-supported bike trip along the Rhine River , from Andermatt, Switzerland to Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The ep...

The conversation covers what makes t...
