In the past, Noah and Christian have pointed out the many ways that being on a poorly-organized team can potentially ruin the hobby. However, there is no escaping that this is a team sport, and in truth, the peak experience comes from having a team of people you love help you win, and in turn helping them do the same. Christian has started 3 or 4 teams, and together they've operated or competed with over 15 different amateur and professional organizations. This episode entails all the origin stories, trials, tribulations, triumphs, guidance for those looking to found their own team or find a team they can call home, proper team tactics, professional team dynamics, and more....

This is all the interesting stuff we ran out of time for on the last episode. Having a high FTP doesn't guarantee results, Pro's don't start as Cat 5's, anyone can be Continental, how long would it take you to turn pro, and everything in between! If you own or plan on owning a power meter, this episode is for you! Understand why that investment is important, get the most out of it,  and how to keep it from ruling your life.

If you own a powermeter, plan on owning one in the future, or have ever wondered what your power might be or what it means... the next two episodes are for you. Is FTP still relevant? How long would it take you to reach Pro-level power? Should you race with power? Plenty more questions like those plus stories, anecdotes, and tips about spending 20+ years collectively dealing in the wattage industry. Join us for a trip down the mother of all rabbit holes.

The saga continues as we await the debut of another "shocking" Armstrong interview. Clickbait headlines will have you believe he feels no remorse for his actions. Can we outgrow his shadow? Do we need to? What can you do to improve the situation? Primoz Roglich has issues with a bathroom break, the UCI debuts a new style of road race, and motorist confrontation stories!

Straight up- if you're going to Nationals (or preparing to travel out of state to a big race) this epsiode is for you. National Championships enjoys a very, very large pedestal and it's high time someone tore it down and told the truth. If American Cycling is to continue it's global precense and relevance, we must increasingly look beyond our borders for inlfuence and guidance. This perspective transcends Nationals and encompasses many "National-Caliber" races and the importance amateurs and juniors place on them. Stories from racing in Belgium and Canada for the first time, racing Nationals with a team full of potential winners, going pro, getting continental contracts, the relevance of American race results, and more...

At the end of the day, we're all going to "fail" many more times than we succeed, in fact it's a requisite of success- nobody gets it right the first time. Your attitude and perspective on such events can and will dramatically affect your ability to learn from them. Also there's the Giro, the meaning of TSE, how to tell the difference between a sport and a game, if weeknight crits are really safe, and more!

One of the most open and undervalued secrets about winning races (or anything) is simply believing that you can. Enroll in the possibility of your success. Go through the motions even when your head isn't in it. Luck needs an opportunity- never stop looking for new ones. In this episdoe, Christian picks apart Noah's recent road race, hope vs. expectation, staying in the pocket, and the beginning of a deep dive into the topic of failure... 

*apologies for the little echo on Cri's mic, it doesn't stick around the whole time, will get that resolved before the next one*
