The Slow Ride: A Cycling Podcast

This week we try and figure out what countries cycling scene we each plan on dominating. Are we headed to warmer climes? Will this cause more controversy than Tim becoming Mn Cat 3 Keirin champion? We also try and figure out if any medium sized road races exist, talk about the weather and dig deep into Spencer's pinwheel past.

This week we get in the Halloween spirit and talk CX, CX costumes and whether the World Tour is a viable path forward for cycling? That last one is not really that scary, but we do disagree a lot. Plus, the cookie monster retires, a local legend goes to Belgium, and we try and name a cycling child. Enjoy! Don't forget to head over to healthiq.com/slowride and see what they can do for your insuranc...

Our intro music got to wear a Halloween costume this week and Spencer totally forgot to mention to Tim and Matt that it was going to happen, so enjoy their non-reactions. We then segue seamlessly into the show and crush a myriad of topics like DCCX and Sandbagger Prizes. The conversation segues nicely into some listener questions, and probably something about Movistar knowing us. You can listen to...

We had a special guest in the studio this week, Drunk Tim. Drunk Tim may have gone on some tangents, and may have repeated himself a bit, but the content is of the highest (and drunkest) quality!

WWDDD? What Would the Dirt Dog Do? We here at the Slow Ride Podcast ask ourselves this question every time we record an episode. Unfortunately, he would probably just jump over us and do a sweet skid, neither of which we can do. But its the thought that counts. This week we talk cx racing, Vuelta pain (cause Tim won) and why don't cx racers have better nicknames? We are taking next week off to per...

This week we talk rules, rules and a guy that broke all the rules. Tim tells us about a movie, Spencer tells us who should be going home early and Matt notices some brakes.

We didn't start the fire. We promise. But with all the hot cycling action from Rio it was only a matter of time before fire broke out. Peter Sagan is crushing dreams, Todd Wells is showing roadies what hard means and we are asking pretty pretty please for your donation green.

It's Silly Season, the time of year when all the strange pulls and helpful attacks of the Tour are explained. We debate a lot about money on this weeks episode. How much should a local race cost? How much should a night of Hockey cost? Does #pro cycling need a salary cap? Also: What's TeJay up to? You can listen to us in a variety of ways: Find us on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, and anywhere gre...

This week we are in post-Tour crisis mode questioning all the time and attention possibly wasted? We can't decide whether this was a good, great, or just boring tour. Whether Froome is a Robot, or a newer and more exciting Robot. Also, Spencer has a super fresh rumor. Check out our Prime Lap Sponsor this week: Michelin Bicycle USA! twitter: @MichelinBikeUSA ig: @MichelinBike You can listen to us i...

The third week of the tour is upon us and that means it this is the high point of cycling excitement for the year. No amount of USA Cycling drama or dispatches from The Klein Corner will make it get any better then this. Though maybe more of Tim's amazing sound board will help? Check out our Prime Lap Sponsor this week: Michelin Bicycle USA! twitter: @MichelinBikeUSA ig: @MichelinBike You can list...

Did you all know that the Tour De France had started? How come nobody told us? If we'd known we would have gotten this episode out sooner but now we're playing catch up. So in order of importance, Tim gets a new toy, Froome becomes a runner and at the same time the coolest cyclist ever. Plus all the Quintana love, TJ jokes and Sagan being Sagan. Check out our Prime Lap Sponsor this week: Michelin...

This week we realize one of the original founding goals of the SRP and interview Dan Craven. Dan was in the U.S. to race Philly this past weekend with his Cycling Academy teamates and was nice enough to take the time to speak with us. Not only did he have the patience to deal with us but he still had enough energy left to crush the break all day Sunday at Philly. A true pro. We are all even bigger...
