Fever Talk

Muddy Mondays is presented by Rapha and by SRAM.

This week, the cyclocross community absolutely stepped up to help us put the episode together. THANK YOU!

While David and I are at home doing tests and trying to get healthy, our friends recorded snippets to keep the Muddy Monday podcast alive. First Magh and Dave talk about the local event where they volunteered over the weekend. Then, we hear from Andrew Strohmeyer about the local CX scene in Baltimore. We hear from Hannah Arensman about how she became an internet sensation after last week's mud fest. We have a short interview with everyone's favorite Canadian Michael Van Den Ham. Finally, Raylyn Nuss interviews Curtis White about his race win tactics and she shares her really cool Postcards project for the season.

This week, we are Live from the Rochester Cyclocross in New York. Rochester is always one of the big weekend of racing in North America; many Canadians and US riders make the trip for the event! David and Maghalie explain why they will have to take a break from racing. We also hear from racer Maddie Munro, about her return to racing. We talk to locals about Rochester's food specialty, hear from young racers and various teams about their experience. Rochester was also the first muddy race of the season, so we hear from riders Caitlin Bernstein, Lance Haidet, as well as the Steve Tilford's Foundation team mechanics about how they manage a first muddy race. Finally, we answer fans' questions about managing pre-race nerves and bike build.

Thanks for listening!

Dans cet épisode, on s'entretient avec Antoine Duchesne qui nous annonce sa retraite du cyclisme professionnel.

Dans ses mots, ça a été "Une crisse de belle ride!" alors dans cette conversation, on revient sur sa carrière et il nous explique pourquoi il a pris cette décision de terminer sa carrière.

Ce fût une vraiment belle discussion :) Félicitations Antoine!

Serge Arsenault a accompli tellement de choses au cours de sa vie que ce serait difficile de ne lui donner qu'un seul titre. Entre autre, Serge a été Journaliste à Radio-Canada, il a produit les Jeux Olympiques de Barcelone en 1992, et de Lillehammer en 94 pour TVA. Il a créé le Marathon de Montréal. Il a lancé la chaîne Canal Évasion (dont il est toujours propriétaire) et a été responsable d'amené le Tour de France sur nos télévisions Québécoises au Canal Évasion...et plus récemment, M. Arsenault a fondé les Grand Prix Cyclistes de Montréal et de Québec!

Cet épisode est bien spécial car il est co-animé avec Antoine Duchesne (cycliste professionnel Groupama-FDJ)! On discute de l'histoire derrière les Grand Prix, s'il voit une course pour femmes dans le futur de l'événement, son opinion sur le cyclisme Nord Américain, et bien plus!

Chris McGovern is a frame builder, business owner, coach, mechanic...he is also an ex-pro cyclist, and a really good trail runner. Gosh!

In this conversation we dive into frame building: How does someone start building bikes? Why are custom frames interesting? Could we create specific frames for bikepacking?

We also discuss the time he invented a new type of saddle bags, thought himself how to sew, made bags, and created a company out of that.

Finally, we dive into coaching and Chris shares his no-bullshit approach to coaching. He talks about the importance of being honest, and having no ego...and to not approach coaching as a business, because that may be harmful to the athletes your trying to help.

He shares his vision for Cyclocross in the US, what he learned training with Wout van Aert, and talks about his new passion for photography.

It's always cool chatting with Stephen as he is someone who thinks and reflects a lot on what happens around him...I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
