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.
Todd was too tired after the day’s racing to give us an audio report, but he did send these excellent pictures from the day’s events. We’ll catch up with Todd for a full report after he recovers.

This Canadian rider broke his collarbone and had to walk it in.
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.
And finally… Brian sends us this photo and note:
