Thanks for keeping us on our toes…
Last June I made the decision and purchased a road bike. During that time I’ve been looking to increase my knowledge about various things to improve my performance. I recently started listening to this podcast and it provides answers to a lot of the fundamental question I have. Not to mention the 3 of you provide meaningful examples and humer to keep me tuned in. It seems whenever I listen to this time flies by. I say this because my time on the trainer used to take forever but not anymore.
Keep up the great work!!!
Tim Thanks for your kind words. What would you like to hear from us?
