This week we talk to special guest Dan Craven of the Israel Cycling Academy. We talk about his career goals, his instagram famous cat, and sabotage him with another exciting round of Top Corner Quiz Corner. Spoiler: He did quite well regardless.

Dan reminds us that we own worldcampingonships.com and we try to decide some exciting new countries to race bikes in. We also learned a lot about hookers. It's not what you think.

Give Dan a follow on social media @DanFromNam, he's a great dude and a good sport.

This week, we talk about the last week of Le Tour, some of us read some Beefheart, and we make sure Francisco Ventoso is ok? We got a little sad about two legends retiring this week, but don’t worry about Tim……he’s got some replacements all lined up. All this, plus your emails and tweets mispronounced!

No Tim on the show this week, and finally it's for a good reason. #BABYWATCH2017

Folks, this is a big episode. Not only are we in the middle of an amazing Tour, but at the same time the Slow Ride is growing up. So much adult content this week, it's great. Luke Warm also returns to the pod, and is on the scene with all the big players! And Spencer tells us about a little trip he has planned.

This week is a lot about the Tour, a little about BABYWATCH 2017, and there's a bit of grimacing. We discuss all the drama and great racing of the Tours first week, plus a dorky WWF argument for good measure. We get to a bunch of your tweets, and surprise surprise look who’s leading @velogames.

Let us know if you like Tim’s baby name ideas.

Le Tour has begun and that means so has the annual SRP Velogames trash talk. We break down why all our teams are wrong, and of course wish Valverde a speedy recovery. Plus a very special concept team, will it beat us all? Probably.

Tim explains how to sell a flat kit without insulting people, Spencer makes a strong case for very, very, short prologues and Matt begs for a easy crit from a special listener.

It's our Pre-Tour de France spectacular and all our bargain basement predictions must go! We have two exciting new segments this week, that we totally swear we will remember to do again. For sure this time. Promise.

Tim had to leave early, so Spencer and Matt do the heavy lifting and close out the podcast decently enough, but maybe could have used another gear and it would have been perfect.

Join our Velogames league with code 524740625 and see if you can better us, we’ll even allow you to cheat and pick Froome.

Some times your hearts in the right place but maybe your pursuit is a little misguided? Maybe your kid BMX dreams are clouding your vision? Or maybe you’ve just got too many Klein’s to watch and not enough time?

This week we also get the scoop on some upcoming special on-the-street reporting from Luke Warm; We find a find of a find; and we meet an interesting man. Plus the people have spoken, and Spencer has a mandate to drop the Hammer.

This week we (Matt, actually) talk all about the Dauphine and how its amazing. Tim creates a new segment, and Spencer reveals his underrated champion.

If you can’t get enough of us three, but also need real knowledge about bike history, you should check out the newest episode of the Pessimists Archive Podcast! Experience what may be our only work as voice "talent".

A guy named George and bloke named Mitch emailed the pod…… help us finish the joke by emailing us any question suggestions for big George Hincapie, and Mr. Mitch Docker.

This week we discuss the new and amazing (and softball joke opportunity-filled) race that is the Velon Hammer Series. Tim gets negative, Spencer keeps it posi-core and Matt respects Tim’s commitment to the joke. For better or worse.

We discuss the biggest Rick move by a race promoter, and a new Fondo idea.

Enjoy.

This week we wrap up our love affair with the Giro, eat some serious humble pie, and argue about the "rules". Tim tells us who is out to ruin this MTB thing we are all so excited about trying, and Spencer has a new great sounding hair cut. Plus a hashtag.

Check it out!
