The Slow Ride: A Cycling Podcast

This week we wrap up our love affair with the Giro, eat some serious humble pie, and argue about the "rules". Tim tells us who is out to ruin this MTB thing we are all so excited about trying, and Spencer has a new great sounding hair cut. Plus a hashtag. Check it out!

This is a big episode, or at least it's long. Or, at least it WAS long. You'll see what we mean. Tim talks GFNY and badgers actual Campagnolo's, Matt doesn't go to a race because he's cold and Spencer has a sweet cheat to start in the second group. We discuss things we've won and if we sold them and eventually, of course the Giro. Plus a bonus segment about some race in California that claims its...

This week we talk about the Giro and velogames (where Tim makes a startling admission) and the Tour of California, before things get... weird. LittleGuy has some greenway stories and we do manage to define Manspreading The Bike as well, so all-in-all a productive show! Check it out!

This week it's 100% Giro and 0% Tim, and that is a win-win! Tim missed the episode due to some last minute travel, and Matt missed his velogames entry due to bad information gleaned from himself on this podcast. Yeah, it didn't make sense to me either. Matt also had some new Bike Rack Stories, and we ended with a quick update on our favorite Grand Tour. We are supported by Health IQ, a life insura...

This week starts on a down beat, as the cycling world comes to grip with several recent tragic losses. The Slow Ride would like to pay our respects to those affected and our cycling family in general. In cycling news, the Giro is upon us and we couldn't be more excited! We make some bad predictions as per usual, and Tim discovers a new favorite rider! We dig into the Redhook Crit and Little 500 an...

We did a lot of things this week, but maybe the most important was improving the age old game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. We talked about Amstel Gold quite a bit considering two of us didn't even watch it. And finally, Tim geeked out about track racing, LG geeked out about Astana, and Spencer learned about Appleatians. We are supported by Health IQ, a life insurance company that celebrates the healt...

It's episode 150! And we definitely didn't show up late, sick, and praising BMC! Thanks for sticking with us through 150 so far, and hopefully we can continue making you chuckle and/or cringe for 150 more! Thanks!

This week we have a very special guest host filling in for Tim who knows a little about the road and a lot about CX. We talk Flanders, Flanders, Flanders and more Flanders. It was a big day!!!! We make some probably incrediblely incorrect Paris-Roubaix picks and take a very special CHC challenge from Bill. Send us your #16thPlace picks for Paris-Roubaix for a chance to hear us say your name on the...

This week we talk pro trolling, why Valverde just needs a reason to destroy you and all the great pre Flanders racing from Belgium. Mitch Docker gets a top 10, we make some difficult Flanders picks and Spencer thinks about maybe just maybe getting a license. Send us your #16the place picks for Flanders for a chance to hear us say your name on the podcast. What could possibly be better? We'd also l...

This week we eventually recap Milan-San Remo, our listeners continue to give LittleGuy shit, and we got some great reviews and emails to read. We also drop some big WAP network news on you, and remind you that the Michelin tires #WAPPowerContest is still on! Better odds than getting a flat on your next group ride! So that's pretty good. We are also supported by Health IQ, a life insurance company...

LittleGuy gets served some social media justice, and the internet serves it cold. Tim has a default bike racer. And Spencer can't say "On your left" loud enough. This week we continue our special brand of groundbreaking cycling talk by introducing two amazing new segments. That's right…Two not one. Soon we'll have more segments than a caterpillar. Remember to tweet us your #16thPlace picks for Mil...

Thanks to a visit from Coach Tim, this week we stay very focused and talk only cycling... and cyclists used cars for sale, and how all Dutch cyclists are tall and handsome. Obviously. We debate what makes a classic a classic, get a little overly excited about Paris-Nice and generally try and keep Coach Tim together. Trust us, it all works out in the end. Also, don't forget to get us some clicks th...

Road season is here and Tom Boonen Tom Boonen makes some #Omloop while we discuss Peter Sagan's zen-like performance in the post race interviews. We make a visit to our E-Bay watch lists to only grow disappointed at the overpriced state of the Klein Bicycle. Add in a higher-level question about VW automobiles you have yourselves a quality cycling podcast. Get out your stuffed donkey and come along...

This week we look into the start of road season and make some Omloop predictions. Oh boy!! We briefly tackle the new Tom Boonen song on the market before getting into some very importsnt work around Little Guy's bike rack encounters. (Not as weird as it sounds. Well. Maybe).

This week we got the best email ever. We spend some time carefully vetting it to ensure none of it is, "alternative facts". I hear that's an issue lately. Give a listen, and let us know what you think! We breeze over some current hot topics like Big Disc in the pro peloton, and Lance's lawsuit, because we frankly don't care that much. We also define the bike swap tactic of Pity Discounts. It's cri...

Yes, it's official. Road season is back for 2017 in a big way! The New French Resistance is leading the charge, and pulling no punches. (Neither is Astana, btw). With no Tim on the pod this week, Spencer and Littleguy were free to talk about goofy eBay stuff for like 20 minutes. I'm sure it makes for compelling listening.

Well, if we hadn't done it before now, we really came up with an idea to ruin cycling this time. Oh boy. We'll be running this one by DBH asap. We also argue about cross worlds, tires, flats, World Cups, and Dubai. Plus, Tour Guide Tim's recommendation for Birmingham Alabama, and it doesn't sound too bad actually.

Hello and welcome to the latest episode. This week we are a man down, as LG is a brand new dad! Congrats to him. We try to hold down the fort in his absence by discussing some unsanctioned racing, and some unsanctioned ride snack maneuvers.   Of course, we talk MTB racing (???), Gravel riding (???), and insult a whole new area of the country!   Also, don't forget to get us some clicks thru's at: h...

This week we talk about the beginning of road season, the end of CX, and the never ending gravel crushing lifestyle. Also more jersey talk (obvi), some accidental snooker viewing, and lots more. Thanks for tuning in! Sorry about the grainy sound quality this week, we had a visit from the Podcast Krampus and had to work with our back-up audio files. :( Also, don't forget to get us some clicks thru'...

This week its 90% Cyclocross Nationals. Whether American, Belgian, or guessing at (but not looking up) who won Aussie nats. 10% of the podcast was picking random numbers, reading letters from down under, and Spencer predicting what ideas KMC cross will steal for next year. Enjoy! You can listen to us in a variety of ways: Find us on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, and anywhere great podcasts are fo...

We are back after the whirl wind Minneapolis live show to give you all what you need.

Plus we give you detailed breakdowns of our NEW & IMPROVED dream team sponsors from Episode Zero (The "Squeaky Wheel Podcast" trial episode). We also take you on a lovely virtual hotel tour...

This week we really get deep into the holiday spirit. Everyone gets a fat bike! Matt gets grumpy. Tim hurt his legs in new and exciting ways. And, in an exciting plot twist, Spencer says USAC gets it right. A lot of hipsters rocked the one cog. Plus we once again blame most of cyclings problems on age categories and probably lose half our listenership. Whoops. You can listen to us in a variety of...

This week, once again, we take on cycling's biggest and hottest topics. Stuff like #crossfights, Rightous KOM Hunting, and Red Hook Doping. Tim is back, but Little Guy has to leave. Also, we got a great C+ iTunes review, passing grade! You can listen to us in a variety of ways: Find us on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, and anywhere great podcasts are found. Give us a review and rating! We'd apprec...

This week we solve more podium problems, Spencer defends a pinwheel(???), and Matt breaks a bunch of stuff. We also introduce two new segments that are sure to come back in the future.
