As we close out an incredible year of cycling, host Tom Butler reflects on the highlights and challenges of 2025. Tom shares how he measured up against the goals he set at the start of the year and reveals his new targets for 2026.

In this episode, Tom welcomes Patrick McCabe, owner of Grit City Health in Tacoma, Washington, and a Cyclocross racing advocate. Patrick brings his expertise as both a personal trainer and Cyclocross coach to revisit the AI-generated training advice discussed in a recent episode. His perspective offers a compelling contrast to the algorithmic approach, demonstrating why personalized coaching and human expertise remain irreplaceable when it comes to training effectively—especially for cyclists over sixty.

Whether you're setting your own cycling goals for the new year or considering how to approach your training in 2026, this episode delivers valuable insights and inspiration to keep you motivated and moving forward.
