Gary & Graham bid a tearful farewell to Sausage Roll Studios with extra helpings of rambling nonsense.  Thanks, listeners - it's been great fun.

Episode 74 - This Pod Should Be Played Loud

We are half way through the Vuelta, so what better time to express ill-founded opinions on Frome's performance & Dan Martin's riding style.  We look at the final round of the MTB World Cup and indulge in idle speculation surrounding rider transfers.   

Episode 73 - Diplomatic Immunity

In this episode we break the mould by bringing you our Vuelta preview before the race has even started.  Gary brings you the MTB news since Graham was too lazy to even bother watching it.  We discuss JTL's epic bender and conclude that he's a very silly boy!

Episode 72 - Just blow into this bag, sir.

In this episode we wrap up the last few stages of the Tour.  We chat about the latest round of the MTB World Cup and round up the biking action from the Commonwealth Games.  Danny's PR faux pas (what's French for faux pas) and Graham's Malaysian adventure feature in our general-stuff-catching-our-eye segment.

Episode 71 - J Geils Band

We're well into the 3rd week of the Tour - what better time to bring you our preview of Week 3 and to tie up the standings on the second rest day, which was 3 days ago.  Yup, business as usual for the VCDL Cycling Podcast.
