This week starts on a down beat, as the cycling world comes to grip with several recent tragic losses. The Slow Ride would like to pay our respects to those affected and our cycling family in general.

In cycling news, the Giro is upon us and we couldn't be more excited! We make some bad predictions as per usual, and Tim discovers a new favorite rider!

We dig into the Redhook Crit and Little 500 and a lot more, and an action packed episode. Also, some new drops! One from former DH World Champion, Mike King!
