Welcome

Welcome to Episode #487 of the 303 Endurance Podcast. We're your hosts Coaches Rich Soares and April Spilde. Thanks for joining us for another week of interviews, coaching tips and discussion.

 

Mountain bike racing and riding in the foothills last weekend has us super excited for this week's topic and guest. We have Bill Plock joining us to talk about an incredible riding experience - Colorado’s Ride.

 

April, how are you feeling after last week’s The Bear MTB race?

 

I’m still hootin’ and hollerin’ from such an EPIC day on the trails! That course had it all—technical climbs, fast descents, and some serious scenery. Huge shoutout to Rattler Racing for putting on a top-notch event. The community vibe, the volunteers, the energy—it all made for one unforgettable race. I seriously can't wait for the next one.
