Well, it’s finally here. I’m really excited to share with you the first episode of a BRAND NEW Podcast series here on Life In The Peloton. This is Life In The Peloton’s Race Radio and, for the first time in 10 years, this pod isn’t hosted by me!

That’s right, this is two best friends - Harry Dowdney and Stu Downie - taking a look at the sport we love from the perspective of the fans. These funny British lads started producing this podcast themselves a year ago, and I’ve been a fan since day one, so I’m so pleased to bring them in under the Life In The Peloton umbrella and share their chemistry, banter, and opinions with you. These guys have captured those cycling chats you have in the pub and turned them into a great podcast, and I really hope you love it as much as I do.

I asked Stu to give me a bit of a blurb for you all so you know exactly what you’re getting into, and this is what he said:

“Harry and I are unashamed adult besties that started out seeking fun at the fringes of the WorldTour. Since then, we’ve made films and written stories for the biggest teams, athletes, and brands – from a clapped-out campervan tour through cycling’s history to the heady heights of the WorldTour – and we’ve never lost their fascination with the sport and its characters along the way. Race Radio is a fan’s eye viewthat celebrates the spirit of the sport and doesn’t hold back, telling stories from the serious or strange to the sublime.”

In this first episode of Life In The Peloton’s Race Radio, the boys turn the mic on me! We talk about how our paths first crossed and some of the adventures along the way. Then, they wrap up the Tour Down Under, and talk about what makes the race so great - and my old mate Mike Woods drops in for a bit, too.

It’s a great ep and a perfect introduction to Harry & Stu all in their unique style that’ll leave you laughing just as much as I did. I really hope you enjoy this new addition to the Podcast family.

Cheers,

Mitch
