Special Guest:  Roger Bowersock of the Colavita Ohio Time Trial Series

The Two Johns are back to podcasting in this self proclaimed ‘podcast of giving back’, which is without a doubt, our best yet.  There is all ready meat to talk about in this season’s early action:  Team Sky, John G’s team, has already shown themselves to be playing well together, Paris- Nice is underway & John K speculates of a resurgent Jose Rujano.  Locally, John G gets back from the sun of the southwest training with juniors & other talented cyclists, John K. SMART goaless, races first race of season.  Next is the interview with Roger Bowersock, followed by our full flavor listener feedback segment where we catch up on our emails from the past month, resubmitted & new:  the ethics of #2 in ADA, Shimano Shifter advice, who are the longstanding teams?, life shaving experience, tire selection, tire picking worth the trouble?, leg exposure ratio & different conditions for race/training, the Data Base of our knowledge is under way! when do your legs arrive?, tooth rot?, tandem racing for the blind, explosive recovery & as mentioned above, we group a number of emails together mentioning that Clara Hughes both skated in the Olympics & raced as a pro.

As usual, this week’s feedback of the week winner gets an Epic Planet DVD.  Thanks to our Listener Feedback of the Week sponsor - epicRIDES Virtual Rides/Real Workouts

I had the pleasure of sitting down & hearing the thoughts of the broadest experienced cyclist I have met.  I apologize for the noisy audio, I I hope it does not take too much away from the material.

The Two Johns come back for yet another podcast where we kick the podcast off with the general state of things which is cold, blinky & flashy as John K shares news about his neighbor’s light show.  John G laments how hard it is to rid in freezing temperatures.  Next is an interview with Neil Browne, former editorial director of Road Magazine, talking with John K about different aspects bike magazines, content & what the future may hold.

The final segment is fashion advice rich Listener Feedback where we hear from Paris Mountains Riding about her Rainbow Bright leg warmers, are they ok?  Pants Man sneaks two emails in, but has trouble finding pants that fit because of his massive legs,  WW2JD?  Rollers or trainer?,  I runneth my bike into the garage, a tale of a lycraphobic community in New Jersey, the tell tale secret stash for fancy wheels is beating in the listeners garage, The Two Johns is not a democracy & a very good resume from LeGimp, willing to change his name to be a John- and of course much more in this pre-Christmas podcast!

What you will not hear about in this latest Two Johns Podcast is an email explaining the ingredients of haggis & how it does not hold a candle to hot dogs in terms of strange contents.  You won’t hear about this not because we did not get an email outlining this, or that we didn’t read it.  No, you will not get this information because of a non-technical difficulty.  What you will get though is International News where we talk about not much racing wise, but Bert gets a bike & scores a specialized deal, when is a Specialized not specialized?  When it is a multipurpose bike.  We then talk about not racing this past weekend as John G fights off illness and the multipass wave & John K rides the road.  We save the best for last as John G’s interview with Frankie rounds out a listener feedback free podcast. (this interview was edited for content)

We will be amending this podcast with a supplemental listener feedback where we actually record our takes on our listener’s thoughts.

The first known written recipe for a dish of the name (as ‘hagese’), made with offal and herbs, is in the verse cookbook Liber Cure Cocorum dating from around 1430 in Lancashire, North-West England.[2]
For hagese’.
Þe hert of schepe, þe nere þou take,
Þo bowel noght þou shalle forsake,
On þe turbilen made, and boyled wele,
Hacke alle togeder with gode persole,
