  • Great Listen

    Thoughtful questions and a great variety of guests make this podcast an easy listen. I really enjoy the format; laidback, insightful, and sprinkled with that quirky, dry sense of humor. He pulls from his experience in the European pro peloton and his current involvement in gravel racing to give conversations real depth. Always a great listen.

  • Always fun times

    It’s always fun hearing Ted’s take one events and rides he does. Not the typical paid participation synopsis of many riders who have nothing but praises for all events endorsing them. Life isn’t always perfect and Ted doesn’t flinch telling you how it is when needed. All of this spackled together with a healthy dose of untapped goodness.

    What an interview! Her story is as unbelievable as is her speed to the top of the sport - all with a big dose of humility and an ability to laugh about the craziness of it all. Worth two listens.
