Aren’t teammates great? There is some back story to this, dominant young rider, last race for cagey vet for long time team- in the end, no gifts!
In this lovey-dovey podcast we talk about KFC’s bucket of wins & Bert’s bucket of Euros on offer to race for Astana, but first, John G greets in his best haggis eating accent the he does a podcast reset. Local news has John G sitting tight, John K hitting the deck. & a relativley light listener feedback segment that is not Fun Run Robbie Free. Actually, this podcast is over-run with Scot references. LeGimp shares his source of Scot translator, Fun Run wants advice of how to get his after school cycling program rolling, Cannondale Commuter wants to fight the power, and Jen Sprokets tells a tale of what moves in in our absence. As usual, we have to unplug & replug our mics on the fly. Enjoy!
Special Guest: Jeremy Powers
Calling all Two Johns Podcast fans, staging is happening now for the latest podcast!
We’re back in the friendly confines of the Two Johns Podcast recording studio after some time away racing & race promoting. As with any podcast following a longer than usual quiet period, this podcast is laden with loads of listener feedback. But first, we have a moment of silence for VDB, Silence-Lotto are now Cadel-less as he makes the run to BMC. Its been a Mud, Mud World in the local news as John gives a brief report of the Gun Club race, & cheeky maneuvers in the closing stages of day 1 of the USGP with good result, John K proves why he does the 35+ race as he does well & promptly injures his back. For our itunes listeners that missed it on the blog, next up is the Jeremey Powers Interview. We chase that with rummaging through emails we want to read, J-Hole lays claim to be the best when Rasta Roadie isn’t around, we get a top 10 list of why John G is anti-MTB, Scottish Roadie sends us a foe-ne-tic email in scottenese- John G assists John K with this, we also get a couple recommendations about an alternative cable/housing system that may remedy the premature wear & much more- in a surprise, the winner of this week’s email of the podcast is someone who remains comfortably numb.
In this latest podcast you will hear me try to describe this video- which is kind of silly, since, well- here it is.
Also in this podcast we sort of preview Paris-Tours, but not really & promise to talk about the Tour of Lombardy in the next podcast & mention two teams making room for BMC. Locally, UCI cyclocross comes to Cincinnati this weekend, John G race cx in Louisville, John K doesn’t try to be a hero in the last road race of the season. In Listener Feedback FRR doesn’t miss this podcast, cummerbunds, are they really like bar tape?, updated Specialized ride, what to do about on the bike relief?, barbarians bombing bike path- should I be ashamed? overpackaging? & we defend out integrity of unbiased podcasting excellence even if we still have to discharge the static every so often.

What do you dream about? Is it this Redline BMX frame? We get asked this among other things in our best podcast ever! The Two Johns both strike out in their picks of the podium of the Men’s World Championship Road Race in Mendrisio this past weekend & we applaud Cadel’s attack. Radio Free Europe? John G reads an email from Slice about the proposed radio ban, provides education on their use & has his own proposal for how the conerns of radio free racing could be addressed. Local News is short this week, largely consisting of news of an upcoming cross clinic at the Cincinnati Cross races by Molly Cameron & Joachin Parbo & John K goes for a soul ride on the mtb. Our product review segment has us talking about Forze GPS, products that address a different aspect of athlete’s nutrition. Look for a written review of the product soon on the blog. Thankfully, we get some static on our static, Alva asks about the greatest story ever told, when do you become a true roadie?, John G leaves when asked about which mtb a listener should get & do you dream of BMX bikes? & J-Hole provide us with a feedback segment unlike one we have had in a long time.

The Two Johns are happy to be back with the latest installment of the podcast. Some podcasts have been longer, some have been shorter & some may have even had more information, but none have been better than this one, our best podcast ever!
We share our bike love as we review this year’s Vuelta: Valverde brings it home, but Moncoutie is the highlight, we make our worlds picks- John G says German, Swiss, Norwegian- John K says Spaniard & Italian & wanna bet? Local news: John G does first cross race of season, marvels at barrier hopping rider, no prep gets you ready for cross, John K gets prepared and says has not had time to race- but actually, I forgot, I did race, but it was quite unremarkable. Listener Feedback is loaded with questions from all over the world: why do we bash the Scots? How do I stretch my bike muscles? Where have the 2 Johns been? The Gentleman Roadie of Portland writes romance fiction, Pedalling Pastor heading to Nepal, who wouldn’t love to ride in Missouri? how do I order Two Johns the…? & more. This week’s prize is not brought to you by Defeet, but by the Two Johns- a coveted Two Johns T-Shirt. Finally, we have the return of Technology where John G talks about his new cross bike & how great the brakes are, while John K talks about fooling around with mechanical advantages by changing the cable straddle location. We bring some extra energy to this, our best podcast ever!
