One of the biggest names in e-racing, Thom Thrall, brings so much to the discipline or e-racing, and the sport of cycling. He is beyond knowledgable in this sport and is an absolute pleasure to talk to. From the development of e-racing, involvement of Cycling Canada, and the ins-and-outs of the sport, right to how incredible cycling in Singapore is, and just how high the ceiling is for Canadian e-racers. But is it really possible to live in Nashville and NOT be a country music fan?! We chat all that and more.

We've all made mistakes in our training, we've all been there. But isn't it strange that no one shares their faults! I botched up my training pretty bad on my way out of an illness, made some big mistakes and cost a lot of time and energy, but we all gotta learn from somewhere. This is a short, straight up, confession to my mistakes. No matter who we are, what level we ride at, or why we ride, mistakes are bound to happen. I want to share with you mine, hoping you can learn from me.

We've all been there, and if you haven't, trust me, you'll get there. We all get hurt from some sort of action on the bike, whether that is a crash or riding being tough on our body in general. I sat down with a friend and teammate, Lunden Friberg to talk about this. Lunden knows his stuff, so take a listen to this. As well as being super knowledgeable in the medical field, his coaching is really taking off now as well. Personally, I learned a ton about the injuries and health issues cyclists face, but on top of that I realized just how crazy American racing is!

Imagine being a gamer that is actually really fit! That's what all Zwift athletes are really, when you think about it. But is "Zwifting" for everyone? Is it really the game changer that it is made out to be? I think it is. Today I bring you all the facts and figures about why Zwift is really so impactful in the world of cycling and how it is bringing North American cyclists to the forefront of this sport. 

Today I get the chance to chat with Maggie Coles-Lyster, Canada’s current Road Race and Criterium National Champ and very well-established track cyclist. We chat about the current state of Canadian Cycling, it’s past, and hopefully where we see it going in the future. We have a super conversation, that may have some hints about future episodes. I realized just how important Crit racing is in North America, how crazy the UCI Track Champions League is for the athletes, and how Maggie and I both are no where near attached to the flat stages at the UAE Tour. Enjoy!

Welcome to a new take on the world of cycling. Carter Lewis and the Clipless in Canada Podcast are pleased to bring you a different perspective on this beautiful sport.
