He's Ganna Poel up the Pog-gio! And other Milan-San Remo puns. How good was that weekend of bike racing? This week's Spin Cycle kicks off looking at Pogačar's team tactics in light of a behind-the-scenes video that dropped after the race. Things seemed to go mostly to plan, but did they? Then, why can't cycling have more races like MSR? How do you build proper launchpads? We have some ideas. Plus, Mads Pedersen's gut is not a place you want to be, the UCI Track Champions League bit the dust, Marc Madiot thinks France is best, and Vingegaard is back riding again.

Welcome back to another week with UTI! bigkasthatguypm@gmail.com
Welcome back to Spin Cycle! We kick things off by diving headfirst into the opening weekend of the classics: Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne.First up, Omloop. What a weird day of racing, especially from the women's peloton. How and why did FDJ and SD Worx let the break get 15 minutes? It was a game of chicken where everyone ended up as a chicken. In the men's race, the surprise came in the finale as small groups came back together, which they don't usually do, resulting in a bigger bunch sprint than we've seen in years. At least a lovely old lady got her Arnaud de Lie moment. At Kuurne, Kaden Groves got a yellow card and Jasper Philipsen was fastest. Is Caley's Jonathan Milan draft pick already looking foolish? At Tour du Rwanda, the final stage was cancelled due to bad conditions. Not a great sign ahead of the planned World Championships later this year.Finally, we like to end the show on a high note, so last up is the news that the 2027 Tour de France might start in the UK. Jonny is ecstatic.

He must manage the exterior moisture that's being drawn up through the concrete. - Heated Tile Floor: June loves heated flooring, but the ceramic tile has cracks. We recommend a very effective system with a membrane that goes under the floor. - Insulation: What is the difference between closed cell and open cell spray foam insulation? John learns the pros and cons of each and how to use them. - Fireplace Noise: Whistling and howling noises are coming from the gas fireplace. Sharon should check if the roof venting was properly installed. - Electrical Switch: A three-way light circuit has stopped working.

This week's Spin Cycle podcast opens with the news that Rabobank is returning as a sponsor for Visma-Lease a Bike, like a salmon returning a once-polluted river. Rabobank's history in the sport is long and somewhat sordid, and their departure due to doping scandals felt final. Well, now they're back. What does that mean? Then Caley, Jonny, and Dane preview the upcoming Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne races, analyzing route changes, potential contenders like Wout van Aert and Tom Pidcock, and the "Omloop curse."

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Alfredo Botello Author of Spin Cycle Notes from a Reluctant Caregiver as guest to the show. About Alfredo Botello: Alfredo Botello is a novelist and screenwriter who has worked on projects ranging from the indie Sundance Global Short La Revolucion De Iguodala to the studio tent pole Fast and Furious 9. His debut novel, 180 Days, has garnered multiple literary awards. He is a Fulbright Fellow in architecture and a Nicholl Fellow in screenwriting. In addition to screenplays and the novels, he contributed a chapter to the Amazon bestseller Wellness Through Words, and has written for The San Francisco Examiner Magazine, Metropolis, Diablo, Surface, The Utne Reader, Style, The East Bay Express, and The Monthly. Botello co-owns a cocktail bar in downtown Oakland, Little Bird Bar, and at home dotes on his two Corgis, George and Dotty. About Spin Cycle Notes from a Reluctant Caregiver: High school math teacher Ezra Pavic is having a hard time. His wife left him, his son barely tolerates him, and now he's being blindsided by something he never saw coming: the emotional spin cycle of parenting a parent. His mother Irene has dementia, and it's exhausting. Caring for her is a constant source of frustration, resentment, and guilt. Lots of guilt. Overwhelmed by it all, Ezra opens a strip-mall school to help others—and himself—become better caregivers. As he learns to handle the personalities of his nine misfit students, Ezra must also navigate the complex feelings he has toward his mother. It doesn't help that she adores his do-nothing slacker brother. But Ezra hasn't told his students that he also has an agenda beyond becoming a more compassionate caregiver. And, it turns out, so does one of his students. Ezra confides the entire tale to his childhood friend Danny as he attempts to sort it all out and find room in his heart again for compassion and love.
In this fascinating interview, Alfredo and I delve into the meaning behind his chapter title, Parenting a Parent: Entering Their Reality, as well as the themes explored in Spin Cycle. We talk about the emotional journey of caregivers—ranging from anger, guilt, and resentment to feelings of helplessness—and how many caregivers are reluctant to share their true feelings. We discuss the importance of caregivers entering their loved one's world, sharing my personal experience when Matt was hallucinating and how I navigated that difficult situation. The main character of Spin Cycle, Ezra, starts a caregiver support group to find solidarity, share knowledge, and become a more successful caregiver.Our conversation also touches on the often challenging process of obtaining a proper diagnosis for a loved one and how caregivers often lack guidance from doctors. Alfredo and I agree that education plays a crucial role in caregiving, and we emphasize the importance of showing ourselves grace and compassion when we inevitably make mistakes.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/chatting-with-betsy--4211847/support.

Is the cycling off-season ever really off? Even though road racing has been done for a while (except for Saitama, of course!), there's plenty to talk about. Tadej Pogačar's new contract with UAE is massive - €8 million a year until 2030, making him the highest-paid rider in the peloton. It's sparked a larger discussion about the economics of pro cycling and how teams are built around these superstar riders. Demi Vollering's move from SD Works to FDJ is a big shakeup in the women's peloton. It seems, unlike on the men's side, that the women's transfer market is wide open, with teams throwing around big money to secure top talent. This move also prompts questions about the role of sponsors like Specialized in rider moves, and the cultural differences between Dutch and French teams.Then there's some good old-fashioned paperwork drama. Ceratizit messed up their WorldTour license paperwork and might lose one of their star riders. Is this just an "admin error," or is there something more going on? And of course, no Spin Cycle episode would be complete without some listener interaction. This week, we tackled Drew's question about the aerodynamics of a leg-shaving mullet, with Ronan offering his expert analysis. Don't forget to send us your own cycling-related queries at escapecollective.com/hello. We'll be answering them in an upcoming mailbag episode.
This week on the Spin Cycle podcast, Caley, Jonny, and Kit kick off with an update on Tom Pidcock's dramatic transfer saga. It turns out he's going nowhere. Or is he? This whole situation adds to the growing narrative that INEOS is a difficult team to be on, as evidenced by Ethan Hayter's recent comments about the "weird environment." Despite the failed transfer, it sounds like there are a few other teams still interested in acquiring Pidcock, but it'll probably take a hefty buyout to pry him away from INEOS at this point.Next up, the crew discuss Chris Froome's shocking admission that he won't be vying for another Tour de France victory. It's tough to see a legendary athlete come to terms with the limitations of their body, but we admire Froome's honesty and grace in addressing the situation. We also take some time to discuss the UCI's exploration of budget caps within the WorldTour. Chris Marshall Bell, who broke the story for Escape Collective, joins to talk about the potential implications of these financial regulations. While there's no consensus on the matter yet, it's clear that the UCI is serious about addressing the financial disparities within the sport. And finally, we want to take a moment to acknowledge the tough news regarding Chris Hoy's health. His strength and positivity in the face of such a challenging diagnosis are truly inspiring, and we wish him and his family all the best.

In this episode of the Spin Cycle podcast, Caley, Kit, Jonny, and Ronan focus on the recent UCI Road World Championships, discussing both the thrilling victories and the controversial incidents that unfolded in Zurich. We recap the men's and women's races, highlighting Tadej Pogačar's extraordinary solo attack in the men's race and exploring the Dutch women's team's unexpected loss, which stemmed from tactical errors. We break down the women's race, examining the unusual dynamic between the Dutch riders and pointing out the squandered opportunities that cost them the win. Next, the crew examines the controversial decision made by the UCI officials to not penalize Mathieu van der Poel for riding on the sidewalk, even though clear rules prohibit this action. We also discuss Mike Woods' curious choice of mid-race fuel – bicarbonate soda – and look at the logistical problems encountered at the Tour of Langkawi, where several teams' bikes were lost in transit. We wrap up the episode by reviewing Suvi Loponen's recent article about the environmental impact of carbon fiber use in cycling and analyze the obstacles the industry faces in tackling sustainability concerns.

Kamala Harris tries to give her stock answer on assault weapons when a reporter at the National Association of Black Journalists forum asks her about gun violence, but the reporter isn't having it when her question was specifically about handguns. Harris then spins out of control and is visibily flustered having to change course.Charlamagne 'Tha God' joins in on a caller to his show mocking Harris for her circular responses to direct questions, so she's really not fooling anyone. Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) announces he is assigning his state attorney general to an investigation of the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump in West Palm Beach, Florida.
A chain represents something that tightly holds onto one's life. In biblical terms, a chain is often referred to as a stronghold. When we find ourselves entangled in these chains - whether it's bitterness, anger, substance abuse, or an eating disorder - we experience a sense of being trapped in an endless spin cycle. But Jesus came to break chains. For more biblical teaching and worship, join us for our Church Online live weekend services on Saturdays and Sundays.
