Season 2, Episode 15: Andrew Hood and Neal Rogers recap 2 weeks of Tour de France action

If you saw the time trial that opened up the third week of racing at the 2023 Tour de France, we'll forgive you for having a healthy dose of skepticism. But let's not forget to enjoy the spectacle: Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar are going to slug this one out until Paris, and we all get front row seats. Neal Rogers (former VeloNews editor in chief) and Andrew Hood (Velo European Editor) catch up with host Dan Cavallari to analyze Vingegaard's astonishing time trial and what that means for the third week of the Tour de France. In the second half of the show, Rogers and Hood give their takes on the Americans at the Tour. Does the future hold GC success for Sepp Kuss? Will Matteo Jorgenson reach super domestique status in 2024? How likely is Neilson Powless to be wearing polka dots in Paris? Hoody and Neal break it all down in this episode of the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast.

Season 2, Episode 14: Direct Current Bike launches with Spencer Powlison at the helm

Spencer Powlison exists at a powerhouse crossroads in the cycling industry. He was the news director at VeloNews Magazine; an editor for The Pros' Closet; a cyclocross racer, gravel racer, and now motorcycle guru. But this new venture for Powlison, Direct-Current.bike, takes him off his usual beaten path. While Powlison can claim victories on a wide variety of surfaces and bicycle styles, eMTB wasn't much on his radar until recently. In his pursuit to learn something new and dive headlong into the nuts and bolts of it all, Powlison became an eMTB enthusiast. That led him to do what he does best: write about his experiences. Spencer Powlison joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to talk about his new media title, Direct-Current.bike. Powlison gives us the lo-down on what he intends to do differently with his eMTB reviews. On top of that, Powlison gives his take on some of the hot topics surrounding eMTB.

Rebuild Mark: Unbound Gravel 2023 Recap

Mark did it! He went to Kansas and raced Unbound Gravel! Well, sort of. Like so many other unfortunate participants, Mark got time-cut after a 4-mile slog through an unrideable mud pit. But he had a great time anyway, and learned a lot about himself, and gravel-riding. Mark joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to recap his Unbound Gravel experience and clue us in on what's next on the Rebuild Mark agenda. #rebuildmark @unboundgravel #unboundgravel Gear provided to me by brand partners: Alchemy Ronin Carbon Gravel w/SRAM Force XPLR @AlchemyBikesUSA https://alchemybikes.com/products/ronin-carbon-gravel-bike Endura GR500 Reiver Jersey and Bibshorts @EnduraOfficial https://us.endurasport.com/rider/gravel-bike.list Gore Shakedry 1985 rain jacket @GORETEXBrand https://www.gore-tex.com/technology/original-gore-tex-products/shakedry Feedback Sports tools and work stands @FeedbackSportsOfficial https://www.feedbacksports.com Elite DIRETO XR-T trainer @elitecycling https://www.elite-it.com/en/products/home-trainers/interactive-trainers/direto-xr-t Limar Horus Sunglasses - they aren't available yet and I couldn't find any details so just watch https://us.limar.com for more info. @limarhelmets1954 Gear I paid for and/or stole from Dan's garage: Revelate Mag Tank top tube bag @revelatedesigns7380 https://www.revelatedesigns.com/index.cfm/store.catalog/cockpit/MagTankBoltOn CamelBak Chase hydration pack @camelbak https://www.camelbak.com/recreation/shop/packs/bike/chase-bike-vest-50-oz/CB-2414.html Pearl Izumi Gravel Shoes @pearlizumi https://www.pearlizumi.com/collections/mens-gravel/products/expedition-pro-shoes-15192304 Shimano XTR pedals @RideShimano https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/xtr-m9100/PD-M9100.html - mine are 18 years or so old but they look about the same Fizik Terra Argo X1 saddle 150mm @fizik https://www.fizik.com/eu_en/terra-argo-x1.html Fizik Terra Argo X3 saddle 160mm - proved to be too wide for me but I bought and tried it https://www.fizik.com/eu_en/terra-argo-x3.html Skratch Labs Hydration, Superfuel, and bars @SkratchLabs https://www.skratchlabs.com Honey Stinger waffles @HoneyStingerBuzz https://honeystinger.com Teravail Cannonball Durable Black Sidewalls 700x42 tires @teravail4366 https://www.teravail.com/product/teravail-cannonball-tire-394759-1.htm Orange Seal sealant Be sure to check out our other podcasts, videos, and live streams, and subscribe wherever you get our stories.

Season 2, Episode 10: Rebuild Mark - not in Kansas, yet

How do you rebuild your fitness after years off the bike? My friend Mark Still has an idea and it isn't subtle. He's fallen away from riding bikes in recent years and suffered the consequences in more ways than one. From extra weight to other health issues, not to mention the mental health ramifications of leaving bikes out of his life, the consequences of continuing on his current path are too dire. He has decided to rebuild himself and reignite his love of bikes. How will he do it? Enter Unbound Gravel 200. Rebuild Mark is a project that aims to get Mark back out riding by putting the biggest, gnarliest gravel event in the United States on his calendar with an impossibly short time horizon to be ready. It's a put up or shut up sort of ultimatum. And if you're in a similar position, well, this might be a good time for you to Rebuild [INSERT YOUR NAME HERE]. Let us know if you're on this journey too, and we can hold each other accountable. See you in Kansas!

Season 2, Episode 9: Gary Fisher intends to upend e-bikes

Gary Fisher has cemented his name in the annals of bicycle history already as the father of the mountain bike. Now, the dapper general of all things dirt has turned his attention to a new opportunity for revolution. As the e-bike world has expanded over the last several years, the physical products have ranged anywhere from meticulous but pricey to absolutely cheap and dicey. Gary Fisher's new company, Morelle, aims to change that spectrum entirely. Fisher joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to give a few hints as to what Morelle bikes might offer consumers — the bottom line is that Gary Fisher intends to pick up where so many other companies have failed on battery efficiency, design, and price. While Morelle isn't ready for primetime yet, Fisher walks us through some of the unique features we can expect to see on the bikes when they do launch. And in true Fisher fashion, the story threads through years of mountain bike design, riding with members of the Grateful Dead, and trippy light shows.

Season 2, Episode 8: Yuri Hauswald is a Gravel Hall of Famer!

Newly-minted Gravel Hall-of-Famer Yuri Hauswald is a staple of the gravel scene. Go to just about any gravel event in the US and you're likely to spot Yuri, either toeing the starting line, repping Gu Energy, or just hanging out to meet people and help out where he can. Hauswald is a former winner of Unbound Gravel, but his racing days are largely behind him. Now, Hauswald is committed to enjoying the gravel community and helping to grow it in meaningful ways. Yuri Hauswald joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to talk about what it means to become a Gravel Hall of Famer, what the gravel community offers to new and old riders alike, and why it's vital to ensure gravel's growth focuses on inclusion and dynamic evolution rather than simply racing.
