In this conversation with people who know things, Level Set talks with cycling enthusiast Joe Thompson about a wide range of topics related to the sport, including the Tour de France, the best and worst cycling movies of all-time, how speed skating and 7-11 (yes, the convenience store chain) changed the trajectory of the sport in the United States forever.  We take a brief journey back in time for a brief history of doping in cycling and we wind up - naturally - discussing the relatively unknown side of biggest name in the history of the sport:  Lance Armstrong.

So yeah, we are geeking out over a topic that is rarely discussed and i think you' re gonna enjoy it.  This is a long-play, deep-dive conversation, which is something i think we could use more of these days.  You'll take a break from this one, maybe even a couple but it is worth completing.

Thank you for taking the journey with me.

Appreciate ya!
