The Cold is my Teacher - Ep134
Grandpa Pearce is here to tell you a walking story again. The story is about cold. Cold can teach you a lot about yourself. It is an opportunity to work with the breath and to have an alternative means of generating a focused state. It also brings about an experience of equanimity following the event. Do you work with cold to enhance your durability or health? What has your experience been? Share in the comments. As always, thanks for listening.

Go For A Walk - Ep132
This episode of Cycling in Alignment is about the most fundamental pattern of human movement: Walking. Old school cycling would command that riders stay off their feet but I would offer that this is an old ideal that should be lit on fire and kicked off a cliff. Walking is an absolutely essential aspect of the human experience and one that is easily taken for granted. Without proper gait patterns, many basic movement are compromised and at best daily life becomes impractical; at worst, it becomes impossible. Cycling makes us bad walkers but lots of walking will help your cycling.

Great podcast
There are a lot of cycling podcasts out there pushing certain topics that can be super useful for training and racing. This podcast doesn’t start or end there. This podcast can help you on and off the bike. I feel like I’m being spoken to.
Great pod!!
Great pod!!
Great Podcast on Bike Fitting and More
I have read a lot of Steve Hogg’s stuff on bike fitting and in looking for someone in the US found Colby and then his podcast. These are great podcasts as while they deal with bike fitting they touch on so much more since how you fit your bike is not just about seat height, crank length, stem length and the other usual suspects.
Colby touches on a lot of areas and there are great conversations with his guests. I may have “conformational bias” but I think if you listen to the podcasts you will see the thoughtfulness put into fitting ones bike.
Now I just have to get an appointment next year as did not realize how busy he was:)
