S3E20: Riding the Course Alone & Unsupported Aug 17, 2020

Show notes

Last Tuesday, Fatty and Lisa went to Leadville, checked into their AirBnB, went to bed, and then got up and rode the Leadville 100 course — with a stowed ice chest as their sole support.

It was a hard day. A slow day. A day of re-learning some very important things about the Leadville 100.

S3E19: Singlespeeding and the Leadville 100 Aug 04, 2020

Show notes

Have you ever seen a racer on a Singlespeed at the Leadville 100 and wondered, "Why would someone do THAT?" Well, this is the episode that tries to answer that question. Fatty has raced on a singlespeed for six of his 22 finishes — even winning the category once. Fatty's built (and will talk at length about) the singlespeed of his dreams for the 2021 race, and details out differences in how singlespeeders need to approach this race.

This episode may not convince you to RACE the LT100 on a singlespeed, but you may find yourself wanting to at least ride one!

Whether it's podcasting, endurance racing, or absolutely crushing the CX field on a singlespeed, Sarah brings amazing energy and join to what she does. And the fact that she is an incredibly accomplished racer and a Leadville contentder means you'll be able to learn while you laugh. We know you're going to love Sarah's smart and hilarious telling of her 2019 LT100 race.

Hottie and Fatty also have updates on their efforts to do better and would like you to be sure to check out the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund (naacpldf.org) and HBCU20x20 (hbcu20x20.org).

S3E13: Wheels Jun 17, 2020

Show notes

Without question, the most important part of your bike is your wheels. So it's about time we spend an episode focusing entirely on wheels. We've got two great interviews on this topic: Ryan Morse talks about building custom wheels, and Jake Pantone of ENVE digs into wheel tech and trends.

S3E12: Owning Your Dumb Mistakes (Part 1 of 3) Jun 08, 2020

Show notes

This episode started as a throwaway question on Facebook: What is the dumbest thing you've ever done in the Leadville 100? And we got a LOT of great answers. So we wondered: What if we asked that same question of the winningest man in Leadville?

DAVE WIENS joins us In this first (of three!) "owning it" episodes, telling us the story of three mistakes many of us will recognize — one that almost gave him a DNS, another that almost gave him a DNF, and one that cost him a world championship.

We'll also talk with ALEX GRANT about the mistake he made that changed his day in Leadville from hoping for a top podium spot...to hoping he could finish at all.

Plus we've got your "own it" moments and ace mechanic Ryan Morse's guidance on dealing with one of the most annoying problems with disc brakes.
