Tara Seplavy - Check yourself after you wreck yourself

Today, we are being joined by Kate Weatherly: A professional rider and human from the opposite side of the globe. After securing multiple New Zealand Downhill national championships, she’s now focusing on Enduro, she is also a full-time medical products design engineer, and an all-together rad human being!

Throwing yourself down a hill with Kate Weatherly

This week is a good old fashioned TGL throwback episode where we talk to a pro and follow along their career path. But, in classic TGL form, we don't talk about power metrics, or UCI points, but instead we discuss dyslexia and overcoming hurdles. Chris Schroeder has a very unique stance on the future of bike racing and we could not be happier to give him the opportunity to talk about Dimond Factory Racing with us.
