This week with the tour ending we keep the competition going in unusual ways. Who had a better retirement Tdf, Sagan or Pinot? 2 weeks vs 3-week grand tours and the greatest battle of all, Kei van vs. Land Rover. Plus, we figure out what to do with the currently useless white jersey.

Sunday Stroll: Annual American Flyers Rewatch Jul 04, 2023

Show notes

It's the American 4th of July again, and that can only mean one thing: Tradition.

It's time for our annual re-watch and discussion about American Flyers, the 1985 cycling classic staring Kevin Costner, David Grant, Rae Dawn Chong, Alexandra Paul and everyone's favorite cycling baddie Luca Bercovici. Let's hurt a little.

Special thanks to Til Death Do Us Blart for the inspiration to create this annual show within a show.

Thanks to Lance Romance for the intro and outro music used for this show. Check them out: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Lance_Romance/Session_On_Devils_Day/Whistle_Synth

Ep 442 Moving Units Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

This week it's just Spencer and Tim, since Littleguy's vanagon broke down somewhere in Nebraska. (We wish we were joking lol). We took the chance to talk about thing's Matt would hate, like Zwift and Campy 12 speed. Oh, and I think we might have planned a heist?

Ep 439 Cargo Club May 30, 2023

Show notes

This week Spencer is his altitude camp and on sparkling form. Some would say Out Of Town From, but that might just be the E assist kicking in. We wrap up the Giro in a pink bow and read a 1 star review.
