Former moto cross racer turned pro road cyclist. Jon Hornbeck joins the podcast. We talk about the transition from the sport and how he moved his way up from the normal Cat 5 CBR races and into the NRC Circuit. He is very much a success story of Southern California Cycling progressing through the local scene very quickly. He talks about what it’s like to race across the country and internationally and what it really takes to make it in the pro ranks which is more than just race results. Jon talks about some of his other passions in addition to racing such as his coaching athletes and his gran fondos right in SoCal. He currently races for the Holowesko Citadel Team and he’s excited about his future in the sport and racing the Tour of California, with  some of the biggest names in the sport even though it’s just another bike race. He will be someone to watch!

Logan joins us to talk about his winning ways with the SDBC crew. While on a winning streak, Logan has progressed very quickly through the ranks and is now on the cusp of racing with the top domestic cyclists. We sit down and talk about his experience as an east coast runner to surgery and then his discovery of the bike. The climber and time trial specialist talks about what it’s like to win criterium and beating the best guys at their own game. On the even of Tour of the Gila, he might get the raise of a few eyebrows from some of the bigger teams. The team of SDBC is the crew he has devoted himself to and he talks about rising through the ranks with the help of a team and some of the things they do together. He splits his time between work and cycling and is coming into the fortunate position of perhaps making a decision about making cycling his work if he continues to progress. Get to know Logan and you’ll walk away a fan of this intelligent and successful cyclist.

I came across Gordon when I stumbled into his shop when it was a tucked away hidden gem of a converted oil and lube shop. He transformed it into the place to be for cyclists not only to hang out but to get their precious steeds worked on. Since then he has been my go to mechanic. He’s built several of my bicycles, thrown fantastic parties, and can solve problems other mechanics wouldn’t dream of touching. He’s built a name for himself by providing quality service to all cyclists especially the ones that like to go fast. The Velohangar name is omnipresent and if someone has a mechanical that can’t be solved, you take it to Gordon. Gordon sits down and we discuss the ways bike shops are changing and how he has created such a loyal following. We talk about the customer/client relationship and some of the projects he’s been working on. From Di2 cable routing to designing kits and pint glasses, Gordon is definitely an artist which shows in his business. He’s one of the few people that I trust to work on and build my bike. He see’s Velohangar as his passion and even hints at the future of his business and cycling shops in general.

While still very new to the sport, Adam Schepps kicks butt on the bike and if he doesn’t he can also kick butt off the bike. Most cyclists have an athletic background. Adam’s was boxing. He transitioned to triathlon and then cycling where he seems to have found a pretty good formula. Winner of San Dimas Stage Race, L.A. Circuit Race and Temecula Grand Prix, among others he usually just rides away from the peloton, stays away and then puts his hands up in the air. Pretty cool plan that seems to work for him and frustrates everyone else. We talk about his sister who also races and her boyfriend Daniel Holloway who dominates the pro crit scene. They have been his advisors and he takes it to heart. In addition to dominating on weekends, he also teaches spin (not in the pump you up with a boom mic attached to his face and house music way) and has several athletes he coaches. He’s found a home with the Breakaway Training tri guys and puts the hammer down on a regular basis. He’s got massive potential and a huge future in the sport. He’s got a great head on his shoulders with a great mentality. I walked away from this one as a fan and friend.

BMX legend turned Elite Master’s Cyclist Greg Romero sits down for our very first podcast and talks about how he found his way onto the best masters cycling team in the country. We talk about how he is able to translate his BMX background into becoming a very talented criterium racer and why he likes surrounding himself with the eclectic personalities of the Surf City Cycling team. Winner of Manhattan Beach GP as a Cat 2 he explains how he was able to move up in USA Cycling’s category so quickly.

Greg explains what it’s like to be a part of the SoCal cycling scene and why he likes being coached by someone more than a decade younger than him! We get into his focus and goals for the season and how he went from transforming his body from ripped hockey player to lean and mean cyclist.
