We cover some news in cycling, including Jack Thompson’s ‘Sherpa Week’ and Steve Bauer joining Israel Start-Up Nation as directeur sportif. Lastly, we mull over some big ideas for 2023 goals.

Rob Britton is a Canadian multi-discipline professional cyclist. Now ‘retired’ from pro road racing, Rob has been crushing some of the biggest and hardest gravel and mountain bike races on the calendar. We chat about Rob’s career, his start in cycling, his love of bikepacking, gravel, chasing FKT’s and his support of the counselling charity WIRTH.

Every time we go out the door in search of adventure, we accept varying degrees of risk. We discuss trying to keep it in perspective and mitigate it, while knowing that sometimes you can just be in the wrong place at the wrong time. We also chat about Tyler’s MS Global Bike Tour, now in it’s 19th year.

We discuss what a fun time it is to be a cycling fan, and then we dive into some cycling slang. What’s the difference between blowing up and bonking? Is it okay to call a 100 kilometre ride a century? We have the answers.

After a second attempt at climbing 20,000 meters in one week, Pete is starting to accept that this challenge (as currently constructed) might just be out of his grasp. We put into some context just how hard this is, and discuss a possible third attempt.
