The Wild Ones Cycling Podcast

This week, we chat about our brand new YouTube series and whirlwind trip around the UK, discuss the curious case of the cracked S-Works that was spotted at the Tour and then vanished from social media, Cav's potential career plans and play more Overrated and Underrated. Sorry if the audio sounds a bit odd in places, this one was filmed in a hotel room and we've had to heavily edit the audio to get better sound quality, but it seems to have cut out Jimmi's mic in places. We're all off on holiday next week, but will be back for regular Thursday morning uploads on our return.If you’d like us to send in a question, story, some good news, things you’d like us to discuss or anything else, email us at wildonespodcast@cademedia.co.ukThanks and see you next time.
