This week on the pod we are joined by dad to two, husband, former pro cyclist, finisher of 18 Grad Tours, Peloton guest instructor and NBC analyst for cycling, Christian Vande Velde! 

We had a great time talking with Christian in what has shaped up to be a very odd summer for him. Normally Christian would be in France right now covering the Tour de France, but Covid has certainly impacted that. We covered a lot in this episode. From being the son of a professional cyclist, to his years as a pro rider and how that changed once he became a dad, to retirement from the sport and becoming an analyst for NBC and so much more. And for the cycling fans out there, don’t worry we also talk about some of his favorite memories on the bike, his relationship with Paul Sherwin, and other great stuff. 

But VDV’s Today’s Dad definition set the episode off on a great foot. He talks about how a Today’s Dad is really making it up as they go. How they are constantly evolving and how his kids make him a better person. 

A big thanks to Christian for joining us on the pod this week! We know you all will enjoy this one!
