Cycling is tough. It's also fun, but it's a strange type of fun. Why do we as cyclists like this type of fun and what do we get from the different layers and experiences of joy, exhilaration, fear, suffering, self doubt, happiness and achievement that we find through riding our bikes. In this episode Sarah talkes about the three types of "fun" and adds another lesser spoken about type of fun that we are all guilty of - Type 4 Fun. Today's show sponsor is Wattbike.

In this episode of the podcast, we dive into the topic of routine and its impact on our success. While routines can be great for putting parts of our day on autopilot, they may not be the key factor that separates high performers from the rest of us. Through conversations with incredible minds and personal observations, we've identified three ways that routine may actually be holding you back. Join us as we discuss the importance of prioritization, the impact of other people's implicit ownership of your time, and the benefits of deleting social media from your phone. By breaking down these common obstacles, we hope to help you identify ways to maximize your productivity and focus on what truly matters.

In this episode, we take a closer look at the Tour of Flanders, one of the most gruelling one-day races that takes place in the Flanders region of Belgium every spring. We explore the course, which includes 6 cobbled sectors and 19 climbs, and discuss the cultural significance of this event to the Belgian people. We also cover the recent race, which saw Tadej Pogačar of the UAE Team Emirates take a spectacular lone victory after distancing his big-name rivals, including Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert. Despite a group of ten riders breaking away and gaining a three-minute lead, Pogačar inspired a comeback and chased down the breakaway before overtaking Mads Pedersen on the final ascent up the Oude Kwaremont. We also discuss two massive crashes that occurred during the race and examine the use of 'Bicarb System' from Swedish company Maurten, which has become a popular supplement among professional cyclists. Finally, we highlight Pogačar's historic achievement in joining legends of the sport such as Eddy Merckx and Louison Bobet as the only Tour de France-Tour of Flanders winners and becoming the first rider of the modern era to have won the Tour de France and at least four monuments. Join us as we celebrate the cultural phenomenon that is the Tour of Flanders and the incredible achievements of its riders. Today's Show Sponsor is Athletic Greens.
