Our shortest podcast ever! Good news for all those who think we are self-absorbed, simplistic, elitist snobs. International Scene: Tour of Qatar, crashing in Australia, Worlds CX. Local News: Winter bike league. Listener Feedback: Only 2 — Gotham gives up cycling because of us (can I have your bike then?), metro sexual cycling. Technology: Indoor wattage, favorite things…
Our thanks goes to Defeet for supplying the Listener Feedback o’ the Week prize. A sweet pair Team Lampre Slipstreams.

Our best podcast yet!! Well, maybe it’s not our best but it is pretty good. International Scene: Tour of Qatar – camel track, Tour Down Under – Team High Road scores first, CX Worlds – Todd is on his way, and Cipo to Rock Racing to pay his back taxes. Local News: John dreads the pain that is Godzulla. Interview: John talks with David Millar on the eve of Qatar about the new team, the new look, TT’ing, Landis, and how to pronounce his name. Listener Feedback: Joe doesn’t get it, NY Racer starts racing (she gets it), Reb wants to know if he should quit his day job for the high-salary world of pro bike racing, Steve needs some relief from the sloshing, Connie (secretly wanting to email john g.) observes a rival between Lance an Jaja and wants to know if there are any more. Technology: John’s mancave is coming along nicely courtesy of a 17,000 btu heater.
