Check out an episode that has host Tom Butler getting real about a troubling physical issue caused by his continued failure to develop a consistent flexibility program. He shares his strategy for making the necessary changes to overcome an injury that could keep him off the bike.

This week's guest, Ken Dyckman, brings more than a decade of touring wisdom to the podcast as he discusses his transition from solo cycling adventures to group tours. It's a nuanced exploration of change—Ken candidly shares the benefits he's looks forward to by riding with others; while acknowledging the bittersweet reality of leaving behind the freedom and solitude he's always loved about solo touring.

Ken offers practical advice drawn from his extensive touring experience and shares memorable stories from the road—both the awe-inspiring moments and the challenging ones that tested his resolve. Whether you're considering your first tour or you're a seasoned rider contemplating a shift in how you ride, this episode delivers insights worth hearing.
