Two weeks of the Vuelta done, and we are still not all on board. This week Tim discusses his next @velogames plan, Matt tries to turn Spencer's logic against him, and Spencer takes the lead.

This week we talk to special guest Dan Craven of the Israel Cycling Academy. We talk about his career goals, his instagram famous cat, and sabotage him with another exciting round of Top Corner Quiz Corner. Spoiler: He did quite well regardless. Dan reminds us that we own worldcampingonships.com and we try to decide some exciting new countries to race bikes in. We also learned a lot about hookers. It's not what you think.

This week, we talk about the last week of Le Tour, some of us read some Beefheart, and we make sure Francisco Ventoso is ok? We got a little sad about two legends retiring this week, but don't worry about Tim……he's got some replacements all lined up. All this, plus your emails and tweets mispronounced!

No Tim on the show this week, and finally it's for a good reason. #BABYWATCH2017 Folks, this is a big episode. Not only are we in the middle of an amazing Tour, but at the same time the Slow Ride is growing up. So much adult content this week, it's great. Luke Warm also returns to the pod, and is on the scene with all the big players! And Spencer tells us about a little trip he has planned.

This week is a lot about the Tour, a little about BABYWATCH 2017, and there's a bit of grimacing. We discuss all the drama and great racing of the Tours first week, plus a dorky WWF argument for good measure. We get to a bunch of your tweets, and surprise surprise look who's leading @velogames. Let us know if you like Tim's baby name ideas. ________________________________ We are supported by Health IQ, a life insurance company that celebrates the health conscious, including cyclists.

Le Tour has begun and that means so has the annual SRP Velogames trash talk. We break down why all our teams are wrong, and of course wish Valverde a speedy recovery. Plus a very special concept team, will it beat us all? Probably. Tim explains how to sell a flat kit without insulting people, Spencer makes a strong case for very, very, short prologues and Matt begs for a easy crit from a special listener.

It's our Pre-Tour de France spectacular and all our bargain basement predictions must go! We have two exciting new segments this week, that we totally swear we will remember to do again. For sure this time. Promise. Tim had to leave early, so Spencer and Matt do the heavy lifting and close out the podcast decently enough, but maybe could have used another gear and it would have been perfect.

Some times your hearts in the right place but maybe your pursuit is a little misguided? Maybe your kid BMX dreams are clouding your vision? Or maybe you've just got too many Klein's to watch and not enough time? This week we also get the scoop on some upcoming special on-the-street reporting from Luke Warm; We find a find of a find; and we meet an interesting man.

This week we (Matt, actually) talk all about the Dauphine and how its amazing. Tim creates a new segment, and Spencer reveals his underrated champion. If you can't get enough of us three, but also need real knowledge about bike history, you should check out the newest episode of the Pessimists Archive Podcast! Experience what may be our only work as voice "talent". A guy named George and bloke named Mitch emailed the pod…… help us finish the joke by emailing us any question suggestions for big George Hincapie, and Mr. Mitch Docker.

This week we discuss the new and amazing (and softball joke opportunity-filled) race that is the Velon Hammer Series. Tim gets negative, Spencer keeps it posi-core and Matt respects Tim's commitment to the joke. For better or worse. We discuss the biggest Rick move by a race promoter, and a new Fondo idea. Enjoy.

This week we wrap up our love affair with the Giro, eat some serious humble pie, and argue about the "rules". Tim tells us who is out to ruin this MTB thing we are all so excited about trying, and Spencer has a new great sounding hair cut. Plus a hashtag. Check it out!

This is a big episode, or at least it's long. Or, at least it WAS long. You'll see what we mean. Tim talks GFNY and badgers actual Campagnolo's, Matt doesn't go to a race because he's cold and Spencer has a sweet cheat to start in the second group. We discuss things we've won and if we sold them and eventually, of course the Giro. Plus a bonus segment about some race in California that claims its in the World Tour? Also KLEIN!!!!!!!

This week we talk about the Giro and velogames (where Tim makes a startling admission) and the Tour of California, before things get... weird. LittleGuy has some greenway stories and we do manage to define Manspreading The Bike as well, so all-in-all a productive show! Check it out!

This week it's 100% Giro and 0% Tim, and that is a win-win! Tim missed the episode due to some last minute travel, and Matt missed his velogames entry due to bad information gleaned from himself on this podcast. Yeah, it didn't make sense to me either. Matt also had some new Bike Rack Stories, and we ended with a quick update on our favorite Grand Tour.

This week starts on a down beat, as the cycling world comes to grip with several recent tragic losses. The Slow Ride would like to pay our respects to those affected and our cycling family in general. In cycling news, the Giro is upon us and we couldn't be more excited! We make some bad predictions as per usual, and Tim discovers a new favorite rider! We dig into the Redhook Crit and Little 500 and a lot more, and an action packed episode. Also, some new drops!

We did a lot of things this week, but maybe the most important was improving the age old game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. We talked about Amstel Gold quite a bit considering two of us didn't even watch it. And finally, Tim geeked out about track racing, LG geeked out about Astana, and Spencer learned about Appleatians.

It's episode 150! And we definitely didn't show up late, sick, and praising BMC! Thanks for sticking with us through 150 so far, and hopefully we can continue making you chuckle and/or cringe for 150 more! Thanks!
