This week there is a lot to chew on with the release of the CIRC report from the UCI, but true fans of the podcast know that all we really care about is Dan Craven's (@danfromnam) early racing season and if the carpet matches the drapes for when it comes to the leader's jerseys at the Grand Tours.

The Doc Hollywood Invitational is a free ride based out of Micanopy, Florida. It is named after the greatest movie ever filmed in North Central Florida. The ride started when Tim decided to bring a little of the upper midwest free gravel community to the sunshine state. After a few recon rides with riders in the area the route was born. The ride is 78 miles long and features 7 sections of hard pack limerock. This special report features interviews and recaps of the ride. We hope you enjoy this special report on the ride.

This week we were joined by @resultsboy himself, Colin Reuter. We grilled him about #treepeople, USAC Shenanigans, and of course this piece and this other piece that he wrote after the botched 2014-15 USA Cycling Cyclocross Nationals last week. But that wasn't all, we talked CX Worlds predictions, Dream analysis, and kind of a lot about FATBIKES. SPOILER ALERT: He didn't find any errors in this weeks episode! WUT?!

This weeks episode is primarily focus on how weird Austin kept it for #CXNats, but also includes some great euro-cycling updates, kit discussions, and embarrassing realization by Spencer that he doesn't know who the new French CX National Champ is… Oh boy.

Anyway, we are back to talk about bikes and bike stuff that regular people care about! Topics include: Proper bartape, gravel grinding, heckling etiquette, CYCLOCROSSZOMG, Trek CXC, The Hour Record, and soooooo much more.

This episode features some, uh, "healthy debate" about cycling and cycling culture. Our hosts accuse one another of being wrong, flip-flopping, and of not deserving it! Watch out!

This week we make or break all the myths surrounding cycling culture! Well, maybe not ALL of them, but definitely the biggest CX myths you've heard, and we also shatter some myths about bike messengers. We tried out a new format for the show too.

Hello and welcome to The Slow Ride Podcast! This week on the show, Tim talks aircraft carriers and basks in his own glory, LittleGuy discusses French movies and Japanese pedals, and Spencer drones on about heckling and Louisville.

Send in the choppers! The season is getting real! Welcome to the 22nd episode of the podcast, and thanks to all of you that made your way here through some random and strange google search but decided to stick around. We appreciate it.

Hot off the presses, and our hosts are all a bit discombobulated this week. Spencer is destroyed from doing bicycle acrobatics all weekend, Tim had his famous pain face on in south florida, and Littleguy's story just doesn't add up.

Thanks for joining us for the 20th episode of The Slow Ride Podcast! This week is the highly controversial #Controversy Episode in which we discuss and dissect some of the more controversial topic in cycling today.

This week we (finally) wrap up the Tour Of France coverage, and look back at the best and worst moments of the race. We will also check in on the final result of our Fantasy League, and the highest placed among our hosts has prepared statements...

This week we continue to drone on about the world’s biggest bike race, but we spice things up a bit with talk of campers, bowel movements, Sagan's fashion, and French cycling! We also get down to brass tacks about our Velogames League

As we move into the second week of Le Tour, The Slow Ride Podcast tackles some of the biggest moments of drama from the first stages of the race with our vertically compliant (yet laterally stiff!) brand of analysis.

This week is all about the greatest show on earth, the Tour Of France! Don't worry, we will get back to talk of gravel grinding soon enough, but for now we go in-depth with analysis on the most meaningful aspects of the TdF.

The tour is coming! In this episode we analyze the best of the week and worst of the week in cycling, and we break down everything you need to know about the favorites in our amazingly insightful TdF preview.

The FIFA World Cup has arrived and the similarities to cycling are numerous. The shady governing organization, the whining Italian National Team, the haircuts and the complete absence of Scandinavian super powers.

Pull out the inhaler, because you are going to need help to keep up. This week we take a look at bike lanes, inhalers, the Grey Wolf, domestic pro bike racing (it exists), and what is the deal with amateur bike racers?

The twelfth episode of the Slow Ride podcast barely mentions professional bike racing, and focuses on everything that is awesome about folding bikes, sidewalk surfing and the stain that is local sandbaggery.

Let's be honest. We have all done stupid things on bicycles. Lot's of times you don't want anyone to know, but all too often you are surrounded by your closest friends who will never let you forget. In other news, Spencer won the Giro Fantasy contest.

As summer heats up and the world of bikes is brighter than ever. The Super Rookie is back delivering packages and Spencer is off to Mexico City to race at the Messenger World Championships. The Little Guy is an actual messenger and he's not impressed.

The Giro Fantasy League is heating up, Little Guy raced with 1300 people at a free gravel road race and Tim loves it when other people make embarrassing mistakes, but all of that pails in comparison to when the worst car company for cyclists is named.

The best and the worst in the week of cycling are covered with extra attention paid to Spencer's propensity to be the worst person around and Tim's mancrush on disgraced amateur cyclists. We then have a meta-conversation about Merckx.

The Tour of California is coming, but we don't care. The Giro is here and it is all the rage. Our #protip of the week is to always ride your bike with someone else so you have a witness of the awesomeness.

Catch up on the best and worst in cycling for the last week of April 2014. In this week's episode we decide to not use the term Gravel Grinder, discuss Ricardo Ricco's favorite things and decide our favorite moments on a bike.

A little known French race called Tro-Bro Leon, the Little 500 and a fun commute to work all top the list for the best things in cycling, but can they be outdone by the worst things in cycling including the season long hiatus of Rouleur Derby!

On the last episode Spencer and the Little Guy declared Paris-Roubaix the greatest bicycle race in the world. Were they disappointed with the 2014 edition? Meanwhile, flat tires ruin all things bicycles for Tim except for the Redbull coverage of the UCI M

The Tour de Flanders did not disappoint and a small company in California made a huge mistake and is paying the price in the online cycling world. Aero-helmets, pedals and used cycling shoes also make the list and before it is over we decide the best b
