This episode of Curry Café, hosted by Ray Gary and Rick McNamer, features Kyle Motley, Coastal Community Coordinator for the Elakha Alliance, and retired marine biologist Bill Gorham. This week's topic of discussion is the effort to reintroduce sea otters to the Oregon Coast after over a century of absence. They explore the ecological importance of […]

Today's episode is all about one of the most charismatic of all charismatic megafauna, the sea otter!  Sea otters are a crucial part of nearshore marine ecosystems, but they were wiped out along the Oregon coast over 100 years ago.The Elakha Alliance has been working tirelessly for years to bring them back, and I'm so excited to be joined by Jane Bacchieri and Chanel Hason to learn more.As a note, we did an episode with Elakha co-founder Bob Bailey a few years ago, but I've been wanting to check back in with them for a while now.As always, the show email is coastrangeradio@gmail.com, please reach out anytime!Show Notes:https://www.elakhaalliance.org/https://www.elakhaalliance.org/siletz-tribe-receives-major-grant-to-aid-tribes-in-returning-sea-otters-to-oregon-and-northern-california/Support the show

I've heard of Bulls bikes from seeing them on Youtube but realistically I don't know much about the company or what they offer. I've seen them at Sea Otter and for whatever reason never went up to talk to them. However, this year was different. Much to my surprise when I stopped by the person I was chatting with was also a fan of the show. So today, both you and I will learn about who Bulls Bikes is and what their goal is with the bikes they are producing. ►Featured Links https://bit.ly/42PzTTg ::: Bulls Bikes USA https://bit.ly/d2rebike ::: Disconnect to Reconnect eBike Fundraiser ►Channel Support https://bit.ly/44Fbsaa ::: Ari Bikes https://bit.ly/3OuoP6b ::: TASCO MTB - Discount Code: B1KER http://patreon.b1ker.com ::: Patreon https://bit.ly/joinb1ker ::: B1KER Members ►Channel Supporters https://bit.ly/2TMIAXV ::: Cushcore https://bit.ly/3vhGlAW ::: EXT Racing Suspension https://bit.ly/2S7tg8a ::: Kali Protectives - Discount Code: B1KALI30 https://bit.ly/2PUXERW ::: Project 321 https://bit.ly/3Jy098R ::: Spokex ►Support B1KER http://shop.b1ker.com ::: B1KER Shop http://donate.b1ker.com ::: Donate ►Disclaimer Links featured in Show More are AffiliateLinks that earn commission to help fund the channel.

Send us a textThis week, former WorldTour pros Harry Tanfield and Sophie Wright kindly interrupted their packing for Sea Otter to hop on the podcast and discuss how they've adapted to life as rookie gravel racers with Britain's newest professional cycling team, the Ribble Outliers – including getting used to wider tyres and lower pressures (and why they're a big plus when it comes to riding on Britain's battered roads).The duo also chatted about the pressures facing British cycling at the moment for riders, organisers, and fans, Harry's ill-fated bid to set up his own road team last year, and why the Tour de France's visit could be a kick-starter for the local scene… If we can watch it on TV, of course. Oh, and why the UK's active travel approach is lightyears behind our European counterparts (yes, there was a lot covered).And in part one, Jack and Ryan are joined by road.cc founder Tony Farrelly and regular contributor Jo Burt to pay tribute to the brilliant John Stevenson, our friend and former colleague at road.cc, and an absolute titan in the world of cycling journalism for four decades, who died earlier this month.

Ricky Roo is back—this time, he's flying over the waves and landing somewhere very different from his rainforest home. Who are these curious creatures floating on their backs? And what's with the rocks and the flipping and the fur? Join Ricky for a joyful, splashy adventure on the coast, where he discovers that even the fluffiest creatures can have powerful stories to tell. Tune in for another delightful episode packed with wonder, laughter, and a whole lot of heart. Written and narrated by Nidhi Gupta. Pebble's voice is by 9-year-old Nandita Gautam.

In April of 2024, Kona Bikes set up their tent at Sea Otter, then promptly tore it back down when Kent Outdoors, who owned Kona at the time, pulled the rug right out from under them and declared that Kona was no longer in business. A year later, we sit down with Kona founder Jacob Heilbron about why he and other Kona founder Dan Gerhard sold Kona to Kent Outdoors; what happened at Sea Otter; how things have been going since buying Kona back; rebuilding the brand image; what their future plans look like; and a whole lot more.RELATED LINKS:BLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredKona BikesTOPICS & TIMES:A Quick Kona HistoryThe Decision to Sell KonaKent Buys KonaFrom Record Sales to No SalesKent Blows it with Direct-to-Consumer StrategyKent Blows it Again with BOGO SaleThe Kona Sea Otter Debacle Jake and Dan buy Kona BackWhat Motivated Dan and Jake to Buy it BackKona's FutureTariffs' Affect on KonaWhat Jake is RidingNew Bikes on the WayCHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicCRAFTEDGEAR:30Blister PodcastOff The Couch Hosted on Acast.

Chef Biju Thomas made a major impact on cycling when he co-founded Skratch Labs with his friend Allen Lim, but these days, you're most likely to find him cooking for cyclists at large events. For example, he was part of the squad that fueled the US cycling team at the Paris Olympics last summer. More recently, he was busy making several thousand meals at Sea Otter. Biju sat down with Payson in Bentonville to chat about the logistics of cooking for Olympic athletes from such different disciplines of the sport, why meal times were so important for the riders to grow as a team, and what it was like watching them win so many medals. He also answers some listener questions, talks about his favorite moment at Sea Otter, and explains why he has Kasia Niewiadoma's Little Sugar trophy on his windowsill.Watch episode 2 of Ride With Pace here: https://youtu.be/3rMbJDoCxeQ?si=-gZU8TtFSrBa46PZGet tickets for the premiere of 'Crossing New Zealand' here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/crossing-new-zealand-film-premier-and-social-ride-tickets-1350916600919?aff=oddtdtcreatorInstagram: @withpacepodYouTube: Payson McElveen

Send us a textWith the cycling industry gripped by yet another period of uncertainty, this week's episode of the road.cc Podcast focuses on the story that's dominated the front pages all month – Donald Trump's chaos-creating global tariffs. And why, at least according to one industry insider, they aren't going to, as feared by many, “sink the ship”, and could even present an opportunity for bike brands in the UK to capitalise on a re-ordered global market.As brands rush to increase their prices and campaign groups lobby their local politicians during Trump's 90-day pause on his so-called reciprocal tariffs, we're joined by Dominic Loh, the director of business at the parent company that runs mountain bike brands Funn and Granite Design, with over a decade's worth of experience in the Asian and UK cycling market.Fresh from Sea Otter, where the US president's trade policies were the talk of the town, Dominic discusses the reaction to the tariffs within the industry, why forecasts of doom and gloom are overstated, and the potential for prices rises for customers at their local bike shop.He also chats about the continued resilience of the cycling industry, why brands need to stay nimble, and why the tariffs could lead brands to adopt a more global approach, perhaps even presenting opportunities for UK-based companies in the new post-Brexit landscape.

I bumped into this young man at Sea Otter and to be honest I would have just walked right by him because I don't ride dirt jumpers. However, one of my friends saw his bike and unlike me was very intrigued because he knew it was different. As I was listening to his story about how he fabricated this bike on his own and that he's only 16 yrs old I knew this was going to be a great episode. ►Featured Links https://bit.ly/42FxGrZ ::: TBD Bikes Instagram https://bit.ly/d2rebike ::: Disconnect to Reconnect eBike Fundraiser ►Channel Support https://bit.ly/44Fbsaa ::: Ari Bikes https://bit.ly/3OuoP6b ::: TASCO MTB - Discount Code: B1KER http://patreon.b1ker.com ::: Patreon https://bit.ly/joinb1ker ::: B1KER Members ►Channel Supporters https://bit.ly/2TMIAXV ::: Cushcore https://bit.ly/3vhGlAW ::: EXT Racing Suspension https://bit.ly/2S7tg8a ::: Kali Protectives - Discount Code: B1KALI30 https://bit.ly/2PUXERW ::: Project 321 https://bit.ly/3Jy098R ::: Spokex ►Support B1KER http://shop.b1ker.com ::: B1KER Shop http://donate.b1ker.com ::: Donate ►Disclaimer Links featured in Show More are AffiliateLinks that earn commission to help fund the channel.

Recently, Andrew L'Esperance and Alexis Cartier kicked off their North American race season. At the Sea Otter Classic gravel race, L'Esperance finished 13th, making him the top Canadian at the first event in the Life Time Grand Prix series. Cartier had a tough race. “It was fun, but I didn't perform at all,” he says in this episode. “I kind of expected it, but I really got smashed.”The pair of riders will find themselves at many of the same races this season, including other Life Time events, such as Unbound, and gravel nationals in Water Valley, Alta. They are both racing as privateers, responsible for their own logistics, sponsorships, maintenance, on top of all the training and competing. Each one has a unique plan and set of goals for the season, which they discuss in this episode. L'Esperance is mixing gravel, mountain bike and even road racing. Cartier is blending his training and transportation: he's bikepacking to all six of the Life Time Grand Prix events.Also on the pod, Canadian Cycling Magazine editors Matthew Pioro and Matt Hansen, as well as feature writer Jake Williams, discuss recent races, such as the men's and women's Amstel Gold and De Brabantse Pijl. Pioro reports back from Sea Otter. He says he knows a bunch about the 32” wheels that seem to be coming to mountain bikes, but what is he actually able to reveal?

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

Josh, Alvin, and Levy unpack a massive week in tech that includes self-inflating tires winning Paris-Roubaix under a mountain biker, Pogačar's fresh V5RS, and an aero road bike that promises forward thrust in any wind conditions. The guys also dig into Allied's new Able that combines speed and tire clearance, the smart geometry of Norco's redesigned Search, and why (or why not) drop-bar mountain bikes make sense.

We are on the ground at Sea Otter chasing Marginal Gains. A top theme at this year's show is something we have been discussing in our episodes: the wider tire revolution. Older XC tires have found new life on gravel race bikes and tire makers are responding. We hear from two major players on the tire side of things. Plus Dylan Johnson weighs in on how widespread the wider tire movement has become at the pointy end of races. We also wadedinto some new terrirotry: bike rack and bag maker Tailfin talks about its go-fast approach to bike packing. And finally, we met up with a one-of-a-kind company that has brought Marginal Gains...to leg shaving. 

Welcome back to Geek Warning. It's been a big few weeks for the cycling world, with the Classics and the Sea Otter Classic sharing a weekend.Ronan Mc Laughlin and Dave Rome kick off the show chatting Roubaix tech, including some hacked derailleurs and questionable measurements. Then they chat about Colnago's latest race bike.Dave then jumps on with US tech editor Josh Weinberg to talk all things Sea Otter, including some of the bigger tech news. Plus, there's a beginner's guide to why many in the industry are seemingly obsessed with gearboxes in place of the old derailleur.All of those chats are based loosely on content already published on Escape Collective. So check out the Tech section of the website in order to see more on all of these things.The episode wraps with our usual Ask a Wrench segment with pro race mechanic Brad Copeland.

Mike, Dario, and Stephane go over the highs and lows of Sea Otter, then dive into some fresh reader questions.

April is Bike Show season, so we discuss the latest and greatest from the Taipei and Sea Otter shows. MVDP dominates Roubaix and is a Gran Fondo's now cooler than a race.

Kicking off the Lifetime Grand Prix series in style, Alex Wild joins us fresh from his 6th-place finish at Sea Otter. In this tell-all episode, Alex opens up his files and shows exactly what it takes to be at the sharp end of the most competitive gravel race in the U.S. We break down his preparation, in-race fuelling, tactics, and the crazy dynamics of Sea Otter's early-season chaos. From threshold numbers to team whispers and start-line nerves, this is your front-row seat to the power, pressure, and politics of elite-level U.S. gravel racing. Whether you're chasing results or just curious what the pros are really doing—this one's not to be missed.

The thousands of homes that burned in Los Angeles this January included the home of Marketplace Morning Report Host David Brancaccio. He shares what he's learning about the challenges of rebuilding with a limited supply and huge demand for contractors. David says there's an opportunity to rebuild a more wildfire-resistant Altadena, and to heal the community itself.  Also, sea otters were hunted out from Oregon and Northern California more than a century ago amid the fur trade, but the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians and conservation partners are now working to bring them back. How reintroducing sea otters can help revive the kelp ecosystem and restore a vital cultural connection for Native people. And major fossil fuel projects like LNG terminals could become harder to oppose on environmental grounds because of a Trump executive order that tries to weaken agency compliance with NEPA, the National Environmental Policy Act. Environmental concerns may take a backseat under the new project review process. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's been over 100 years since sea otters lived on the Oregon coast. Overhunting by early 19th century fur traders decimated otter populations. But just last month, the Siletz Tribe received a $1.56 million federal grant to further the efforts to reintroduce otters into our region's marine ecosystem. Today we're revisiting a conversation with science journalist Erin Ross about why we should all be excited for the return of the Oregon sea otter.

In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Luan discusses the significant decline in the population of common murres, a seabird species in Alaska, which has seen about half of its population die off—approximately 4 million individuals—since the marine heat wave known as "the blob" occurred from 2014 to 2016. The primary reason for this drastic decline is linked to the effects of the heat wave on the marine food web rather than direct thermal stress on the birds themselves. The heat wave caused shifts in the availability of food sources, leading to starvation among the murres. The study highlighted that the murres rely heavily on oceanic food supplies, and disruptions in these supplies can have devastating impacts on their populations. Research conducted by the University of Washington and the U.S. Fisheries and Wildlife Service revealed that the murre population in the Gulf of Alaska dropped by half, while in the eastern Bering Sea, the decline was even steeper at 75%. The study emphasized that without a recovery in the prey populations, the murres are unlikely to rebound, indicating a potential tipping point in the ecosystem that could prevent recovery for this species and others reliant on the same food sources. Overall, the episode underscores the importance of understanding and funding research on marine ecosystems to address the long-term impacts of climate change and marine heat waves on wildlife populations.

In this episode of Roll On, Cole Paton, we'll dive into Cole's 2024 season—exploring the highs and lows of the Lifetime Grand Prix, Marathon Nationals and Marathon Worlds. This conversation also explores Cole's relationship with fellow racer and Olympian Savilia Blunk, lessons learned from ‘going for it' with friend Bradyn Lange at Chequamegon, and the insight that inspired the rest of his season after taking a more conservative approach (holding back) at Sea Otter.  We'll revisit Cole's frustrating end to the season in Bentonville, why he dug so deep when sick at The Rad and what's motivating Cole most going into 2025.  Raw, real and vulnerable, Cole shows up for Roll On as he does for race day—holding nothing back and giving listeners a look inside the mind and heart of one of the top off-road cyclists in North America.  On a side-note, we had this episode scheduled for publication on November 20, but tragedy struck my family the evening before. There's a multitude of reasons I chose to team up with Cole for this partnership, and all I can say, is that he's been showing up for me and my family in a bigger way than he'll ever know. Sincere, authentic and true—that's the Cole I know. The straw the stirs the drink—he's a straight up animator on race day.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, Cole Paton is the real deal—and he's so much more than a bike racer. He's a friend, partner, son, uncle, brother and down to earth, humble and full of grace dude, who just so happens to be one of the fastest men on two wheels.  We hope you enjoy the listen!  Cole's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/colepaton/ Website: ⁠⁠⁠beaudacious.com⁠⁠⁠ Michael's Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@michaelleachba⁠⁠⁠ Show's Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@thebounceforward⁠⁠⁠

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
