Adam couldn't resist the call of the open road and the joy of a 34-mile ride—despite Michael having a recent health hiccup that kept his trusty Peloton gathering dust. Michael and I share these moments and more, laughing with our Starkville fan over my penchant for cooler weather and tipping our helmets to the cycling culture in Dublin, where every pedal stroke feels like a toast with a pint of Guinness. It's the personal stories, like these and Scott Garwick's remarkable journey from anxiety to resilience on two wheels, that make our cycling adventures more than just a pastime—they're a testament to transformation and friendship.
The roads we navigate aren't just paved with asphalt, but with the camaraderie of fellow cyclists and the mishaps that only add to our rich tapestry of memories. From the freedom of recumbent biking to the thrill of completing long-distance rides like RAGBRAI and RAW, we dive into the experiences that bond us. We even chuckle over a friend's forgetful moment, forgetting cycling shoes, on a 155-mile ride—a reminder that the journey itself is often as memorable as the destination. And beyond the laughter, we're serious about the issues that matter to our community, discussing the regulation of motorized bicycles on public trails, and celebrating the spaces that allow us to revel in our shared passion for cycling.
Wrapping up, we're thrilled to tease a new segment where we hear directly from you, our listeners, with our upcoming mailbag feature. It's about creating a richer, more connected experience, where your stories and questions fuel our discussions and inspire our rides. So whether you're planning to join me in Hell, Michigan for "One Hell of a Ride
