    Building strength to power your pedaling with Miranda Lyle

    Today Ellen and Marley welcome strength and performance coach and mountain biker Miranda Lyle, founder of Play Strong Fitness, where she specializes in mountain biking conditioning programs. We discuss why muscle mass, strength, and durability support longevity and better riding. We also talk about gym motivation, return-to-sport conditioning after injuries, butts... er, glute strength, and why you should treat your body the same as your bike: with regular maintenance and occasional tune-ups when something goes wrong. On March 16, Miranda is launching a free, online Gear Up Challenge with Shredly. It's five days of super simple challenges, each 10 to 15 minutes long, anchored in the five pillars of her mountain biking program. Two live workshops will also dive a little bit deeper into what a strategic recovery session looks like, so that you can apply what you learn to longer bike rides.

    Riding as Resistance: The Alex Pretti Memorial Ride

    This is a short conversation Ellen & Marley had with Jarrod Alder before our DFL discussion last episode. Jarrod was a key organizer of Minneapolis’s Alex Pretti Memorial Ride on January 31st, 2026, held just a few days after Pretti’s murder at the hands of ICE Agents. The ride in Minneapolis saw over 5,000 participants, and there were more than 300 rides around the world. This is a story of riding as resistance; of how the cycling community came together to honor one of our own, and to take a stand. We hope you take away a feeling of hope, that you are not alone in feeling feelings about what is happening, and that you leave with one example of how everyone can find a way to oppose what’s happening. As of airing this episode in February, at least six people have been killed by ICE in 2026, and ICE is still active across Minnesota. News outlets report as many as 500 agents are still on the ground, which, while being reported as a draw-down, is still a huge and disruptive presence. For ways to support our neighbors in the north, we’ve linked to a reddit thread with links to dozens of organizations. Nation-wide, you can call your representatives and voice your opposition. ​Minnesota still needs us: https://www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/comments/1qcfpmw/how_you_can_help_master_list/

    The Magic of The Mid South DFL Party

    This is the third and final episode in our 3-part series on The Mid South Gravel bike ride. You cannot talk about the Mid South without talking about their now-infamous DFL (Dead-F*cking-Last) party. So we invited two of our favorites on to talk about it. Jarrod Alder tells his story of his muddy Mid South ride that sparked the first party back in 2017, and Beth McBride shares her experience as the most recent DFL rider. She earned her designation back in 2024, but because the event was canceled last year, she has yet to pass the torch. This year, All Bodies on Bikes has teamed up with the Mid South and Ride with GPS to host the DFL Party! We are so excited for some of the ideas we have up our sleeve. If you're going to be at Mid South, come find us and celebrate the last person to cross the finish line with the biggest party and the most joy you have ever seen.

    Training for a better ride (not a smaller body) with Dave Schell

Dave helps all athletes fit training into their lives, making it enjoyable, effective, and doable. They talk about the importance of consistency, how to manage stress about working in a ride, and tailoring workouts to your individual needs, from physical differences to whatever life is currently throwing at you. They also discuss nutrition and how to fuel your body for a long distance event. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just starting out, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips for making the most of your training so that you can enjoy the ride! 00:47 Meet Coach Dave Schell 01:52 The Role of a Cycling Coach 03:10 Training Tips and Strategies 07:38 Incorporating Training into Daily Life 11:15 Success Stories and Realistic Goals 20:07 Common Training Pitfalls 22:41 Nutrition and Fueling for Rides Website: https://www.kaizenendurance.coach/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaizenendurance/ Podcast: https://www.kaizenendurance.coach/podcast Fundraising: https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=M5QPG8XCVKZ86 Mentioned in this episode: This episode is supported by BikeTiresDirect.com.

    The Mid South Gravel ABOB team experience with Matt Fisher

    Each year All Bodies on Bikes takes a team of non-traditional athletes to Mid South Gravel for the ride of their lives, focused on joyful movement and fun. They train together virtually through the winter from their homes across the country, then finally come together for a weekend full of excitement, endless miles of red dirt, and some of the best parties you’ve experienced, INCLUDING the “DFL” dead-effing-last party. This episode is a conversation I had with Matt Fisher, a 2025 team member and now a mentor for 2026’s team, as well as a founding member of our Dallas Fort Worth All Bodies on Bikes chapter. We wanted to share his story as a peek into what it’s like to be part of the team. The next two episodes will focus on different aspects of the All Bodies on Bikes Mid South experience. Next week Marley chats with Coach Dave who works with athletes to create training programs they use throughout the winter. And in two weeks we're celebrating a celebration… aka gushing about what makes the DFL party special. (And yes, this is your little nudge to consider applying for next year’s team!)
