This week, one of the last of 2017, we try to keep it positive and look for reasons we love this silly sport of cycling. Even though it likes to disappoint us consistently. I think we pulled it off.

This week we are all here for a very important Top Corner Draft Corner: 2018 Men's World Tour kits.

Amazingly, we mostly agree. Mostly. Plus, we talk about a bunch of cyclocross, a little Froomy, do some off season training, and Tim has a "hot take".

This week we have special guest co-host Adam Myerson (@adammyerson) in the Slow Ride studio, replacing Tim this week. (You're welcome). 'Tis the season, so we talk a LOT of cyclocross, you'll love it. Probably. We also got deep in the #dadlife rabbit hole. Whoops.

This week we talk "The Triple", the Giro and Froome, a new holiday in the US, and a guy that just won’t quit. Spencer introduces his new law firm, Tim makes a play to be audio book talent, and Matt just keeps loving those elderly dopers.

We are back after our a short holiday break. Spencer took the opportunity of time off to start his new super duper weight loss plan, Matt started his weight gain plan, and Tim just ran. Like a dummy.

We talk cyclocross mud and Klein bikes! We also read some emails and mourn an epic eBay fail. Plus, Spencer shows us our new signature look.

Here's a couple classic Slow Ride clips you may have missed, as well as part of an interview we did with Erik Saunders wayyyy back on Episode 53. We think it is full of great content, and deserves a revisit! We hope you enjoy this cobbled-together throwback episode, and we'll be back next week!

This week someone forgets a helmet, we get nervous watching CX, and we go to the most convenient race for 'Merican #pros. Also: Some Klein corner action, and some doping grumbling. And introducing a very contentious Cycling Movie Draft Corner! Tell us who was right, and who was only in it for the money.

This week we discuss the newest trend in bike design, parse out what Nairo is thinking on Instagram, and the weather. Littleguy gets a great gift and Tim gets a terrible one. Plus torch passing.

This week we try and scare each other while sitting around the flickering light of a pirate feed. Tim pulls out some ancient scrolls and tells cycling stories that never came to pass, we change the Tour de France rules for the better, and Spencer goes to a bike race in Jersey. Terrifying.

For our annual spooky Halloween episode we answer all the scary bike questions you never knew to ask. Like how dusty was DCCX, how much did Mvdp’s bandage look like a tribal tattoo, or Dutch continental team has the worst name? Its not the team your thinking of. Plus all kinds of regular cycling talk.
