Races have all kinds of sponsors, and I was able to catch up with the beer and wheel sponsors of the Memorial Park Crits at the last race of the summer series. Adam LeSage, the director of fun at Karbach talks beer and bikes. Then, John Wilmeth spoke to me about the quality wheel builds of Cantu Wheels. Happy listening!

Scott Minard and I met up at The Yellow Cup in Houston to talk about Chasing Watts, the app he co-created to help you find the best group rides near you. If your a ride creator, then Chasing Watts will also help you grow your ride. I also take a look around what's coming up on the Texas cycling calendar and share a bit about my recent vacation in El Paso and Durango.
