On this episode, Tobin Ortenblad puts on his co-host hat and joins Hannah in interviewing Keegan Swenson. Pre season, why Cape Epic is so hard, preparing for Unbound, and why Cyclocross should have a comeback. It's always a pleasure to sit down and talk with these two HTSQD athletes and get a look into the world of top tier gravel racing and beyond.

The Life Time Grand Prix is back, which means we've got a whole new season of recap episodes on the way. To kick things off, we've got South African rider Hayley Preen and Swiss rider Simon Pellaud here to take us inside their races. Hayley just won the South African Gravel Nationals shortly after grabbing third place at the Cape Epic and is on her second go-round of the Grand Prix. Last year, she had to drop out after a broken wrist, but she's started off this season strong with a fourth-place finish at round one last weekend. Simon is a Grand Prix newcomer but he's been pretty busy over the past few years. He gives us a quick rundown of his career so far, which includes racing in the WorldTour for Trek, racing for a US Conti team, and breaking his WorldTour contract in order to join the Swiss ProTeam Tudor Pro. Now, he's racing for the Chinese Conti team Li-Ning Star on the road while holding down a gravel career on the side. He talks about his days lining up for the Vuelta and the Giro, using his breakaway skills at Sea Otter, and how he's planning to balance his globetrotting schedule this year. Instagram: @withpacepodYouTube: Payson McElveen

John Maytham speaks to Jon Cherry, business strategist and publisher at Cherryflava Media, who argues that the Two Oceans Marathon, along with other Cape-based sporting spectacles like the Cape Town Cycle Tour, Cape Epic and the Cape Town Marathon, offer a defendable, media-rich ecosystem that global streaming content simply can’t replicateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on our More Women More Miles series, we welcome Olympian and 2022 Life Time Grand Prix Champion Haley Smith, fresh off an impressive performance at Cape Epic.

This combination of experience and education makes Haley the perfect person to chat about mental performance when it comes to training and racing epic events. She covers everything from training mindset to tackling pre-race nerves, as well as setting meaningful goals and creating mantras to help you on race day.

For the second episode of Season 3, we're bringing back a Bounce Forward fan favorite, Haley Smith. If you haven't listened to Episode 1 of Season 3, with Haley, we'd highly encourage you to do so as it sets the table for this most recent conversation. In the days following her return from South Africa, Haley and I sat down to unpack her eight stages of racing on the Western Cape, for the legendary Absa Cape Epic. In this conversation we explore Haley's take on resilience, how she navigated the struggle bus early on, lessons she learned about herself and her racing parter and why the teammate component of the Cape Epic makes for a truly special and eye opening experience. Filled with Haley insights and wisdom, we dive beyond the watts, exploring how she overcomes self-doubt, mantras, mental cues, the power of believing in potential, and why it's easier to suffer in a pair. WNbL, Cover art photo by Trek BikesHaley's Website: https://www.haleyhuntersmith.com/Haley's IG: https://www.instagram.com/haleyhuntersmithWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠⁠beaudacious.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Michael's Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@michaelleachba⁠⁠⁠⁠Show's Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@thebounceforward⁠⁠⁠⁠Michael's Mindset and Mental Endurance Coaching: ⁠https://beaudacious.com/coaching/⁠

De har vundet flere danske mesterskaber end nogen anden herreklub, men snart kan det være fortid med KIF Kolding i den bedste danske række. Nedrykning truer, og direktør Christian Hjermind forklarer, hvad der er gået galt i Kolding. Selvom Tour de France er det største cykelløb i kalenderen, handler alt ikke om de tre uger i Frankrig. Ikke for Tadej Pogacar i hvert fald. Han har netop meddelt sin ankomst ved monumentet Paris-Roubaix, selvom hans trænere og chefer på det kraftigste har advaret ham om risikoen for styrt og skader. I Sydafrika blev Mountainbike-rytteren Annika Langvad for nyligt den mest vindende nogensinde i løbet Cape Epic, der anses for at være sportens mest prestigefyldte. Sejren er en kulmination for Langvads comeback efter fire års pause, men hvorfor lige komme tilbage nu? Og hvilke drømme skal hun nu forfølge? Vært: Emil Schiønning. Medvært: Tina Müller.

In this Spotlight, Gareth and Ross kick off by looking back at teen sprint phenom Gout Gout's latest performances, which continue to project a spectacular yet unknowable future. Across the Ocean, a young South African put down a teen-sprint marker of his own with a sub-10s performance, and we use those performances to discuss the nuanced, fluid and undefinable element of super-talents in sport. What matters, what doesn't, what is required for entry into the elites, and what makes a difference once there?We also discuss whether the addition of the Sydney Marathon (among others) to the prestigious World Marathon Majors dilutes their equity, which presents a chance to discuss heat and performance related to both marathons and the currently ongoing Cape Epic. Finally, we chat concussion in the community game, in the aftermath of some misinformed perspectives raised by politicians in the UK about the concussion risk with lower tackle height in the game.Show notesDiscourse is our VIP community, and if you'd like to be a part of that conversation, receive Gareth's Caught my Eye newsletter, and to interact with fellow listeners, the way to do it is to check out this link, and become a patron of the podcast for a small monthly donation.

Episode 140 - DIY Saunas, Embargoes, and Did Someone Really Suggest Gravel Tire Size Limits? What up party people. We've got another long-dong stem episode for y'all jam packed with all sorts of shenanigans like Dizzle contemplating a DIY El Camino, pro roadies needing to take some direction cues from gravel so they can actually make it to the finish line, Nate Haas hanging out with Cheech and Chong too much when analyzing tire testing, and did someone say maple syrup? Speaking of maple syrup, as tempting as it may be to fill up your tires with tree sap, I highly recommend against it because you're just asking to find yourself a sticky situation.

New Zealand cyclist Samara Sheppard has found success in multiple disciplines, including cross country (she won a U23 World Cup in 2012 and is a multi-time New Zealand and Oceania champion), road (she nearly landed a contract with one of the most prominent WorldTour teams in 2019), and marathon (she's placed 5th and 6th at the marathon world championships). This year, she's taking on a new discipline — gravel. As one of the new riders in the Grand Prix, she wasted no time in showing that she is one to watch when she placed second at Sea Otter in April. Despite her many successes, however, Samara's career has been full of near-misses. From seeing her long-held Olympic dreams dashed when the cross country spot was given to a reserve track racer to losing out on a road contract at the last hurdle, she has had to constantly find creative ways to pivot. Samara sat down with Payson in Durango this week to talk about chasing World Cup success by herself in Europe as a teenager, getting a Master's Degree in Public Health when racing stopped in 2020, becoming the first athlete from Oceania to podium at the Cape Epic, and how the online riding platforms Zwift and MyWhoosh have provided some of the biggest opportunities of her career. She also talks about why she had everything riding on a top result at Sea Otter and why she chose not to race Unbound. Instagram: @theadventurestacheYouTube: Payson McElveen

Just like the title says

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP Since retiring from the pro pelo, I've been itching to dip my toes into as many different cycling disciplines as possible. I raced on drop handlebars and skinny tyres for over a decade, now I want a heap of new challenges to tackle on the bike.  I love getting out and exploring on my gravel bike, and I've tried my hand at some gravel races; but the bikes and bunch dynamics feel a little too similar to road racing sometimes. I want to get out of my comfort zone!  Cross-country mountain biking was the natural next step. I started out by exploring my own backyard on the rowdy moto tracks in the Cobaws, then some races in Aussie events like Otway Odyssey, Reef to Reef, and Cape to Cape. Every time I got on the XC bike I felt like my skills were improving and I was growing more and more confident - the same feeling I had all those years ago when I first got into road cycling as a youngster. It was new, challenging, and I could feel the progression with every ride. My cross-country journey hit new heights at the end of last year as I took on the creme de la creme of XC MTB; the Cape Epic, alongside my good mate and fellow retired road racer, Ian Boswell.  Despite completing one of the biggest mountain bike races on the planet, I still feel like there's more to explore in the world of flat handlebars, chunky tyres, and suspension. I want to keep working on my skills and pushing myself in areas other than pure fitness. That's why I'm diving headfirst into the world of Enduro. Enduro is the perfect next step on my mountain biking journey; there's some pedalling, sure, but it's more about technique, skill, and balls! In Enduro racing it's all about the downhill - only the descents are timed. Nobody gives a fuck how fast you can climb, you just need to get to the top so you can send the next trail. Riders race multiple stages throughout an event, and at the end the lowest cumulative time wins. I started by chatting to Paul Van Der Ploeg. A great bloke, and a fantastic mentor to show me the ropes and teach me the basics, Paul and I headed out to Mount Macedon so he could critique my technique and give me some pointers. Paul has raced all sorts of bikes over the years, and even became a world champion himself in the Cross Country Eliminator in 2013, but was humble enough to strip it all back and teach this newbie some basics. Next, I spoke to Matt Fairbrother. Only 20 years old and hailing from Christchurch in New Zealand, Matt is a ripping Enduro racer who made a name for himself by bikepacking his way between the races at the Enduro World Series - sometimes thousands of kilometres at a time! Matt and I had a chat on the road to the New Zealand MTB Rally; a brand new event that I'll be taking on to help me better understand the world of enduro. Despite being almost half my age, Matt's one of the most experienced riders out there and shared a lot of his wisdom with me on a road trip down the coast of the South Island from Christchurch to Nelson. When we arrived we had a couple of days to spare before the racing started, so Matt took me out to some of his favourite trails in Nelson City and Cable Bay to show me the race course so we could pre-ride, re-ride, and then free ride! We also spoke about the tech side of enduro. I've not got much clue when it comes to tyre selection or suspension settings - so I spoke to Paul and Matt about the bikes to get some pointers. I even learnt that my bike's got a mullet just like me!  There's so much for me to learn about all things mountain biking, but I'm loving being a beginner again and soaking it all in! Have a listen to me talking to some real experts as I send it into the world of enduro. Cheers! Mitch

Pro cyclist Hannah Shell joins us to talk about doing the Cape Epic stage race in South Africa, getting and keeping sponsors, going from road to gravel, and balancing being a pro with a full time job as a project manager. Then we go into The Training Log to try out HR with Forms swim goggles and pulling Emily behind me on two bike rides with a tow rope!

Minha convidada foi criada em um ambiente de muito esporte. Sua avó foi uma grande atleta em provas de lançamento de disco e dardo, e no tênis conquistou diversos títulos. Ela, por sua vez, foi do judô à natação, da corrida de velocidade ao lançamento de pelota, do jazz ao tênis. Nas águas da Ilhabela acompanhava seu pai no mergulho livre. Em Campos do Jordão, cidade serrana que frequentava bastante, tornou-se ao lado da mãe uma especialista no resgate do pai quando ele saltava de asa delta. No último escolar, chegou a ir com pedalando para as aulas com uma amiga através da caótica via Marginal Pinheiros, em São Paulo e já na faculdade, usava a bicicleta como meio de locomoção. Um dia, na academia de ginástica que frequentava, recebeu o convite para integrar uma equipe em uma corrida de aventura. O cara que a convidou sumiu, mas animada, decidiu seguir adiante e montou a própria equipe. A modalidade casou perfeitamente com o seu espírito e durante alguns anos ela competiu diversas provas, como as icônicas Ecomotion, Brasil Wild, Chauás, Adventure Camp, Haka Race entre tantas outras. Participou também da ultra maratona Cruce de Los Andes, de uma prova de ciclocross e algumas de mountain bike. Em 2008 trabalhou foi voluntária na Cape Epic e ficou maravilhada. Convidou a irmã que a vida lhe deu e juntas se prepararam para participar da próxima edição da prova de mountain bike em etapas mais famosa do mundo. A sintonia entre as duas foi perfeita, tornado a experiência mágica e fazendo com que a dupla quisesse viver mais momentos assim. Como um time, o Flower People, participaram ainda do Tour de La Patagônia, a Transrockies, a Brasil Ride em tandem, a BC Bike Race e até a Loire 725, uma prova de uma semana remando de stand-up paddle 16h por dia. A alegria, descontração e animação da dupla, aliada ao emprego sem limites da cor rosa em seus uniformes, equipamentos e adereços, além de coreografias exaustivamente ensaiadas fazem a alegria dos participantes e chamam a atenção da imprensa de qualquer evento que participem, criando assim a sua marca registrada. Mesmo quando sua parceira não pode, ela não para e está sempre entretida com algum desafio, como uma Spartan Race na Tailândia, o Desafio do Dunga em Orlando, um XTerra na Sardenha, uma Backyard Ultra em Portugal, uma prova de mountain bike no Vietnam e agora, recentemente, uma tradicionalíssima prova de 90km de esqui cross country na Suécia, a Vasaloppet. Conosco aqui a arquiteta, empresária, mestre de yoga formada em ciência do bem-estar e aventureira de corpo e alma, que não pretende parar tão cedo, criadora da Flower People X, a divertida Luciana Cox.

Desde criança, meu convidado vem levando uma vida intensamente ligada à natureza. Nascido em Campo Grande, logo se mudou para Bonito e foi morar na roça. Um caçador de aventuras nato, aos 7 anos de idade já tentava atravessar a nado o rio Aquidauana, em pleno pantanal matogrossense do sul. Aos 13 anos vieram as motocicletas, aos 14 a canoagem e o êxtase de explorar rios desconhecidos. Seguiu praticando rally, enduro de moto, participou de competições de moto velocidade e para manter o condicionamento físico, nadava e corria. A escalada surgiu aos 27 e com ela a paixão pelo vertical. Formou-se a compreensão de que os limites se rendem facilmente a um corpo e uma mente em sintonia. A bicicleta veio somente aos 30 anos e como não poderia deixar de ser, fora das estradas de asfalto. Três anos depois começou a participar de corridas de aventura e até os 40 anos foi tempo de consolidar tudo, vocação para o que vinha naturalmente, dedicação para o que parecia complicado demais. As motos retornaram à sua vida, com cilindradas bem maiores e como um meio para se aventurar pelo mundo. Aos 45 anos começou a praticar corrida de montanha, ao mesmo tempo em que o talento para contar causos ficou evidente. Então, bastou juntar tudo e abrir espaço na agenda para curtir a vida ao ar livre. Além de alguns enduros, pilotando sua motocicleta ele já rodou milhares de quilômetros pela América do Sul. No mountain bike, participou 11 vezes da Brasil Ride, três vezes da Transandes, duas da Cape Epic e uma vez da British Columbia Bike Race, no Canadá. Venceu a Transandes na categoria duplas mistas e na Brasil Ride, foi duas vezes terceiro colocado, uma na categoria mista e outra na master. Entre as diversas viagens/expedições de bicicleta que fez, pedalou 1.700 km de Brasília a Paraty em uma tandem e 1.500 km de Brasília a Corumbá. Além de ser um experiente trilheiro, correu 120 km na Ultramaratona Pantanal e uma ultra de 70 km na Chapada Diamantina. Escalou na rocha em diversos lugares pelo país e chegou ao cume do Huayna Potosi, na Bolívia e sozinho, foi ao topo do Aconcágua, na Argentina. Participou também de diversas corridas de aventura como a Chauás, a Red Bull Kirimbawa Amazônia, a Brasília Multisport e a Desbrava Centro Oeste. Há três anos foi diagnosticado com um câncer espinocelular na cabeça, mas nem por isso, mudou o seu estilo de vida e continua se aventurando pelo mundo, sempre com muito estilo. Conosco aqui o servidor público, fotógrafo, habilidoso comunicador que é a epítome do espírito inquieto, aventureiro e desbravador. Um ser humano para quem não há limites e que vive tudo o que é possível, da maneira mais intensa, o pantaneiro Weimar Pettengill.
