  • LOVE LOVE LOVE!

    I love In Stride! This is such a great podcast. I’m a long time listener and am so grateful that your recent episode has Katie, an amateur. It often feels forgotten that most of our sport is made up of amateurs. Cheers to the folks working 40+ hours elsewhere, trying to get to the gym, balancing social & family lives, and still finding time to ride. PLEASE have more episodes like this!!
