I had the pleasure of sitting down with my good friend and teammate, Marco Aledia, to chat on our crazy experience during the opening day of the 2025 Tulsa Tough. As we reminisced about the event, we discussed the electric atmosphere, the camaraderie among our team, and the challenges we faced on the course. Marco shared his insights on the strategies we employed, while I recounted some of the memorable moments that made the day truly special. Our conversation not only highlighted our shared passion for cycling but also deepened our bond as teammates, as we looked forward to the exciting races ahead.

I first met Nelson "The Cheetah" Vails over 25 years ago at the Nike campus in Oregon, where I was assigned to room with him as an 18-year-old. At the time, I had no idea who he was, but my perspective changed dramatically later that evening during a Nike presentation. I was truly amazed to discover that I was sharing a space with an 1984 Olympic medalist. Since then, I have always admired Nelson not only for his incredible sprinting achievements but also for his vibrant and joyful personality. I genuinely enjoy our conversations, and I hope you find this one as delightful as I did.

I had an incredible conversation with the founder of Birdworxs! He earned the nickname "J Bird" because his mother likened his slender physique to that of a skinny bird, mainly the legs, and he embraced it as part of his brand. After discovering that Jason not only raced street bikes and dirt bikes but also competed in boat racing, I’ve affectionately dubbed him "Surf and Turf." I hope you enjoy this chat as much as I did! If you do, please give it a like and share it with your network.
