What We Liked About 2021

It's retrospection time and we've got our professor, Adam Mills, from Source Endurance here to breakdown the lessons that we all should have learned this year. We've have four lessons in today's class, and we are sure you'll enjoy. We are brought to you this week by the Echelon Racing League on the RGT Cycling platform. The league is pairing with in-real life events this year and races are currently ongoing. 

What We Should Have Learned in 2021

Our guest this week, Julie Kuliecza, has made it to the end of her professional racing career. We are here to celebrate that milestone with her; but also to learn from her wisdom and experiences. We all stand on the shoulders of giants, that's how we learn. We are brought to you by Manscaped, your home for men's grooming solutions.

Inspiration

A lot has happened in our criterium nation in the past couple of weeks. There will be good that comes from some terrible news. We will be here to convey that good news and explain it when the time comes. For now we need to talk about what we know about the recent controversy and start to take those next steps forward. This week we present our interview with Spencer Moavenzadeh of ButcherBox, one of those people who is working to make not just bike racing, but the entire world a better place.

Gears and Guitars a Winston-Salem Recap

Coming from Maple Ridge, BC, Canada, Maggie Coles-Lyster of DNA Pro Cycling has been a force in the criterium peloton this year. We got a chance to sit down with her and hear about that whirlwind of success. We also discussed the very sad; but very real fact that sexual assault, abuse, and harassment takes place all too often in our sport. Maggie is the victim of sexual assault stemming from events in 2017 when racing in Europe and she was brave enough to speak with us about it here. If you have been a victim of any type of abuse in our sport there are resources, like SafeSport here in the US, or International Safe Sport abroad. In addition The Cyclists' Alliance is also there to provide guidance and help for its members and supporters.   We are brought to you by Source Endurance.

The criterium season is winding down, which means more time for lazy Sunday mornings brunching with the cats outside. But before we pack up the Zipp 808s for the winter there is a veritable buffet of racing to cover including the Momentum Indy weekend, the Sun City Crit and Bucks County. With all that racing we need a full crew to help break it all down, fortunately we've got the best of the best here to do it. We are brought to you by Source Endurance.
