  • It’s Okay

    Good for Canadian content, but compared to other cycling podcasts its a bit amateurish. The host doesn’t have a great voice for radio.

  • Excellent Information on Cycling

    Great hosts, enjoyable segments and a wealth of knowledge. It's great for anyone from anywhere but goes next level if you're a Canadian. Peter Glass is an awesome resource they regularly have on and the regular hosts are amazing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The psychology of riding better with Prof. (in the making) Haley Smith
Q: What practical strategies do you rely on to train mental durability for long climbs or endurance events?
I use a combination of visualization of worst-case scenarios, deliberate self-talk with specific mantras (remember who you are, be honest, push), and pre-race planning that links cognitive cues to cadence and power goals. This mental preparation creates a second, productive channel for the brain to operate in during tough segments, reducing spirals and keeping focus on controllables.
The psychology of riding better with Prof. (in the making) Haley Smith
Q: Haley, Competere started as your pilot social intervention; can you explain what it is and how it aims to help women stay engaged in cycling?
Competere is a mentorship- and event-based program designed to convert interest in cycling among women into a sustained identity as cyclists, fostering community and belonging through one-to-one mentorship and in-person events across Canada (and some in the US). It aims to bridge the gap between first exposure and long-term participation by supporting women to persist, set goals, and feel empowered within cycling.
Did Canadian cycling legend Gord Fraser really win 200 races?
Q: What is the truth behind the 200 race wins figure?
Fraser says he has no idea where the number originated and suspects his total was not close; he notes he could have tallied around 30 wins per year at his peak, extrapolated over a long career, which could have led to inflated figures.
Enduro world champ Elly Hoskin is a meticulous rider with fresh ambitions for the season ahead
Q: How did her 2025 season unfold and what were the key turning points?
Her season featured a sequence of rapid successes culminating in World Championship and national titles, but she emphasizes learning from races she didn't win and using those experiences to fuel future goals.
Enduro world champ Elly Hoskin is a meticulous rider with fresh ambitions for the season ahead
Q: What does a world and national Enduro Champion do in her off season?
She spends time skiing, resting, and resetting, using the downtime to prepare mentally and physically for the next season, with light training and recovery as core elements.
