For the eightieth episode of the It’s Just A Hill Cycling Podcast, Jon recaps the summer and looks ahead to fall. He kicks things off with a thank you to everyone who made Sloppy Jon’s 2025 a success, from riders and volunteers to NBX Bikes for fueling the ride and providing prizes. Rider donations went above and beyond, covering all the food and drink costs, with the extra being paid forward to Tour de Rhody. From there Jon previews what’s coming up, including Tour de Rhody 2025, the new Tour de Cider ride series, and some late-season bikepacking plans. He reflects on his fitness after the DC ride, the 4Fs ride, and D2R2, while also talking gear with his Cervélo Áspero-5, a possible mountain bike, and maybe even a Cervélo S5 on the horizon. The episode also touches on a recent motorist encounter caught on camera and why Jon continues to speak up for rider safety, along with a quick for-sale section highlighting a Cycliq Fly12 Sport camera/light combo and a Salsa Warbird carbon frame.
