This past June, Maggie Coles-Lyster won the national championship road race and the national championship criterium. Of the two results, the crit win was possibly less of a surprise. Coles-Lyster has been on the podium at American Criterium Cup races regularly throughout the past two years. Still, she's no stranger to longer road events, including the Joe Martin Stage Race where she took the young rider's jersey in 2021. In this episode, Coles-Lyster looks at the significance of both her national championships titles.The rider from Maple Ridge, B.C., has also had much success on the track. In fall 2021, she competed in the UCI Track Cycling Champions League, where she won the first scratch race of the series. In 2017, she won the points race at the junior track world championships. As this episode comes out, she's racing on the track (and road) at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England.In this conversation, Coles-Lyster also discusses the vibe in the U.S. crit scene, a competitive approach to yoga, dissecting salmon and the races she'll take on later this year.

Allison Mrugal is a professional road cyclist who races with Cardinal - Classic Cycling team. She got her start in professional cycling, racing mountain bikes cross country. However, after some time, she decided to focus on road racing. She's competed in many events, including the Joe Martin stage race and Unbound gravel. In this episode, we catch up with Allison to learn more about her cycling career and what it's like behind the scenes of being a professional athlete. Then, in an exciting podcast segment, Ally talks about what it is like to race your way into shape and use Pilates to develop balance on the bike.We also touch on the impact of the global covid epidemic and discuss how some cyclists adapted and others didn't.Obviously, we also discuss what the future will bring for Ally and any potential goals she is setting. Hang in the podcast because we talk about nutrition towards the end and compare making margaritas with mixing 90 grams of carbs into a bottle.Whoop and sleep tracking devices also make an appearance in the show.Finally, we discuss the long-overdue attention women's cycling is getting more recently and some predictions for the women's tour de France this year.It was great catching up with Allison Mrugal and we hope you enjoy the show! P.s. Let us know in the comments if you agree that Ally should do cyclo-cross this year :-)Team Cardinal - Classic Cycling"Cardinal - Classic Cycling empowers women cyclists.

After five years of racing with the Team Novo Nordisk development team, Logan Phippen made the step up to the pro team for 2021, realizing a long held dream and becoming the team's only US pro rider. Valuable experience racing against WorldTour opponents was gained at the Tour of Turkey, Baloise Tour of Belgium and the Tour du Limousin as Phippen looks to push on in 2022. A challenging 2020 due to the Covid-19 restrictions and racing embargo meant for a shortened calendar for Phippen, but 11th overall at the Tour of Mevlana in Turkey after an all round selfless team performance confirmed Phippen's development had come full circle and the time was right to move up a level. 2019 saw Phippen perform well in races like the Joe Martin Stage Race, Vuelta Independencia Nacional and the Grand Prix Cycliste de Saguenay, but injury and illness blighted his calendar and limited his race days. One of four children, from a young age Phippen was involved in highly competitive endurance athletics, including Nordic skiing, running, and mountain biking. He fell in love with cycling while watching the European races on television and swiftly began harboring his own ambitions of becoming a cyclist. He promptly found progress racing with Hanger 15 Bicycles (formerly Canyon Bicycles) on the US domestic Pro Road Tour (PRT) circuit and gaining valuable experience in teamwork and leadership. In 2016, Phippen's life changed drastically when he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. That spring, he grew weak and frail and noticed he didn't have the energy to keep up with his friends while out riding. The weekend after his 24th birthday, he saw how horrifically thin he'd become, and after a conversation with his father, Phippen went to the emergency room where he was diagnosed with diabetes. The diagnosis never disheartened Phippen as he knew it was a condition that he could manage. With the help from his medical team, he knew he could live the same active life and was back on the bike within a week. Because he had already seen Team Novo Nordisk riders in the peloton, he reached out to the team immediately to see if they had a spot for him on their elite mountain bike team. Instead, Team Novo Nordisk offered him a chance to race for the development squad, and Phippen instantly jumped at the opportunity. Phippen experienced a breakthrough season in 2018, earning 14 top 10 finishes including eight podium finishes with two wins and one overall victory. His proudest result came at the UCI Europe Tour of Bihor in Romania where he finished 11th in the individual time trial. Off the bike, Phippen loves literature, writing, and meditation. He says his life looks completely different than it did barely three years ago and loves being back racing full time and taking life by the horns.

Randy and Dean Warren discuss the latest in cycling as Randy competed in the Belgium Waffle Ride and the Vuelta a España has completed nine stages.  Team Jumbo Visma's Primož Roglič is still in control with Movistar's Enric Mas looming close behind.  The Warren brothers look at other European races just completed and talk about the US Crit series races and upcoming Joe Martin Stage Race.  

Adam de Vos can throw a punch. Most cyclists, it seems, can't. Every few years though, there's a dust-up in the peloton. It's always a bit shocking, while the riders' technique is usually cringeworthy.“That's what I'm training for: that one time that it goes down in a race,” deadpans de Vos in his interview. “No. I'm just kidding,” he adds quickly.The rider from Victoria has been a pro since 2015. His results have largely been at a simmer and occasionally bubble up. He won a 1.2 level one-day race in Austria in 2017. That year, he led an important race in the North American scene: the Joe Martin Stage Race. He was at the top of the GC for most of the event. In 2018, de Vos won a stage of the Tour of Langkawi and held the yellow jersey for two days. But, as with most riders, the results only tell part of the story.Find out more about the long-reigning national champ Adam de Vos as he talks boxing, wine and especially cycling.

Coach Trevor Connor and Chris Case, as well as Coach Ryan Kohler and Fast Talk producer Jana Martin, all chose an N1 Challenge in the fall of 2020. Now, part way through the training and preparation for their big events, they discuss what they've learned and the adjustments they've made to keep themselves on track. The premise of the N1 Challenge is that each of the four riders is an experiment of one (n = 1); however, each rider's training experience can offer lessons for everyone. For Jana, who is new to cycling and is preparing for a gravel race in the Colorado mountains, that has meant incorporating more structured riding into her program and being mindful of the intensity at which she rides. For Ryan, a time-crunched husband and father of two who is preparing for Breck Epic, a six-stage mountain bike race, he has found new ways to be creative when planning his weeks. Trevor, who at the age of 50 is hoping to remain competitive in the pro field at the Joe Martin Stage Race, has been reminded just how hard he needs to train to find that last 10 percent of his form. Finally, Chris reveals his struggles to determine just how much recovery he needs after big training blocks and camps as he prepares for his first ultra-cycling, bikepacking race.

With domestic racing canceled due to COVID-19, Eric Hill, Frank Cundiff, and Project Echelon stepped in to take races such as the Tour of the Redlands and the Joe Martin Stage Race to the virtual worlds of Zwift.

July is simply not the same without the Tour de France and world class bike racing to watch... Thankfully, with ZWIFT there is a platform where cyclists from around the world can gather to test themselves and "scratch the racing itch", so to speak. Just as real-world events require course study and experience, ZWIFT has it's own nuances that must be learned in order to be successful. That is why we interviewed Elevate-Webiplex Pro Cycling's Jordan Cheyne who recently won the virtual edition of the Joe Martin Stage Race, a ruthlessly tough 3-stage virtual event on ZWIFT that paid homage to one of the oldest events on the domestic pro racing calendar to talk all things ZWIFT. In the interview Jordan covers ZWIFT'ing tips and tricks that will help newbies and experienced riders alike get better results (and better fitness!) from their online racing efforts.

Before pedaling her way into the world of cycling camps and coaching, Janel was a competitive runner, studious kid turned enginerd, singer, and happy when spending time with family, friends or playing outdoors.While finishing up grad school and teaching high school full-time, Janel bought her first road bike in 2006. At first, she participated in Team In Training, but soon Janel’s competitive side surfaced, and she turned her ambitions to road racing. She began working with coach Arnie Baker and entered her first race in January of 2007. Janel, Arnie & road racing proved to be the perfect fit.By the end of her first season on the road, Janel was invited to guest ride at a stage race for the California-based professional team Webcor Builders. An entry-level bike didn’t slow her down too much as she was able to help secure the overall win for her teammate and find her way to the podium in the time trial. Janel signed to race full-time with Webcor and her career as a pro bike racer began.In 2008, she began racing in Europe with Webcor and she continued to head to Europe each year with either her trade team or the U.S. national team. Janel is at her best when the road turns up, but she is certainly no slouch in the time trials. That combination made her one of the favorites in difficult U.S. stage races such as the Tour of the Gila and the Cascade Cycling Classic.Janel rode a breakout season in 2011 racing for Colavita – Forno d’Asolo. She won the Joe Martin Stage Race, her first National Racing Calendar (NRC) stage race victory. Janel also won the overall at the Tour de Toona and Oregon’s challenging Cascade Cycling Classic. Thanks to her consistency, Janel finished the season by winning the NRC individual title.Janel’s 2013 season was highlighted by a solo stage win at the Tour of Gila, finishing 2nd the following day in the time trial, and third overall. She was also a key member of the US team that brought home overall victory from the Giro Donne in Italy. For Janel, though, all the podium results were overshadowed by participating in the Team Time Trial at the World Championships in Florence 2013 and Ponferrada 2014 with her Optum teammates. Other career highlights include being named to the 2012 U.S. Olympic Long Team.Since retiring from pro road racing in 2015, Janel has directed her efforts toward individual coaching, running cycling camps and clinics, and staying active in the cycling community as a brand ambassador. In 2017 as a retiree, Janel focused on gravel events and won Crusher in the Tushar and placed 3rd at Dirty Kanza 200. She continues to ride her road, gravel or mountain bike almost daily in and around the Santa Monica Mountains from her home in Newbury Park, CA.In addition to her cycling successes, Janel has a degree in chemical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a master’s degree in education from the University of San Diego. Before turning bike racer, she taught high school math, physics and chemistry in San Diego.CampDave SwansonWebsiteBook Goat Wrestling Perseverance Clothes Free Chapter of my Bestselling Book?
