The ‘why’ behind my circumnavigation of Ireland helped me find the ‘how’ to pull it off

In this special episode of Performance Process, Ronan shares the story behind his 3,000+ km solo circumnavigation of Ireland – a ride powered not by chasing records, but by purpose. This was a deeply personal challenge to raise awareness for food allergies and support life-changing research, all while adhering to the same strict allergen-free diet his six-year-old daughter Sophia must follow daily. From the original plan of a record attempt to the emotional pivot toward solidarity and visibility, Ronan breaks down how and why the ride evolved, the symbolic meaning of circling the island, the injuries, and what it revealed about resilience and navigating life with allergies. Expect raw honesty, plenty of reflection, and the beginnings of a much bigger story. The fundraiser is still open here, every contribution makes a real difference. • £10 provides allergy education packs for a school• £25 trains 50 teachers to support allergic kids• £100 covers a life-saving dose of treatment for a child• £1,500 funds six months on the life-changing Natasha Clinical Trial Hitting the target, could fund 20 trial places for allergic children, and take a real step toward a future where no child has to live in fear of their food.

Rainbows defended, rainbows earned

In this episode of How the Race Was Won, Dane Cash and Cosmo Catalano break down the thrilling action from the 2024 UCI Road World Championships in Zurich, Switzerland. The men's elite race was dominated by an (un?)expected 100km solo breakaway from Tadej Pogačar, who secured his third major win of the year and completed the coveted Triple Crown of Giro/Tour/Worlds. Dane and Cosmo analyze Pogačar's bold strategy, the chaotic chase behind him, and the impressive teamwork displayed by the small Slovenian squad. They also discuss the performances of other favorites like Remco Evenepoel, highlighting the lack of coordination in the chase group that ultimately led to Pogačar's victory. In the women's elite race, Lotte Kopecky successfully defended her title, showcasing her resilience by recovering from being dropped late in the race and winning in a sprint finish. The podcast concludes with a look ahead to Il Lombardia, where Pogačar will defend his title wearing the newly acquired rainbow jersey.

Chasing noises and the better way to apply chain lube

In this episode of Geek Warning, James is just back from the Sea Otter Classic and Dave is still thinking about chain lube and tools. On the Sea Otter front, James and Dave discuss new eco-friendlier tyres from Vittoria, new metal bikes from Ritchey and Digit, parts from 5Dev and Xpedo, along with new tools from PrestaCycle and Stan’s NoTubes. Check out James’ Sea Otter Classic galleries for visuals of what was discussed (and so so so much more). The conversation then turns to larger questions around Stages Cycling and Kona who were both missing-in-action at America’s largest trade show and cycling event. On Dave’s mind is a better way to apply chain lube following a recent video from Josh Poertner of Silca. Our PSA is less of a public service announcement and more a basic guide into figuring out where noises may be coming from in order to silence them. And then the geeks bring back the Pick One segment to discuss floor pumps. The episode finishes up with a new crank-related recall from FSA. All this and more in this week’s episode of Geek Warning – a podcast created for and funded by the members of Escape Collective.
