As the road season begins we say goodbye to the Cyclocross season.We are out and about at Albie's CX racing where he hits some challenges.We also visit Belgium to watch the pros in Namur, with Mathieu van der Poel and Thibau Nys in an epic battle on the stunning hillside of the city's citadel.We also witness the brutal side of Cyclocross...Lucinda Brand dominated the women's race which was hardcore.All in all, we both agree the Winter months wouldn't be the same without the joy of frites and the boss of cross.Hope you enjoy!

In this extra special episode we are joined by the lovely Anders Mielke! We get to interview the man who interviews the pro riders at cycling races, including the Tour de France. Anders is a wonderful storyteller and takes us into the world of Pro Cycling, including his own journey from junior cyclist to creating his own podcast and becoming an established journalist working for Eurosport and TNT Sports.He tells us about his unique connection with many of the riders including his friendship with Mads Pederson. We ask about filming 'Chasing Cobbles', a TV series (2025) which he produced and directed about Mad's pursuit to win one of the cycling worlds greatest accolades - a Monument cycling race.We reflect on riders becoming pro at increasingly younger ages and the challenges this can bring. We also find out which bike race is his favourite and which bike racers he likes to interview, along with many more gems.In an honest and heart centred conversation we get a glimpse into Ander's life and his passion for cycling. He brings wisdom and a fabulous wry humour, we both agree he is as genuine in real life as he is on the TV. It is clear why he has become so well liked by fans and riders alike.We recorded this episode in December (took a while!) when Anders was in off-season. We had so much fun hanging with Anders and though Albie was nervous, he enjoyed his first big interview. Enjoy!'Chasing Cobbles' (co-filmed with Johnnes T. Hansen) can be watched on Discovery+, HBO max, Prime Video, Apple TV region specific.Ander's podcast 'Forhjulslir' on Apple and Spotify.Ander's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andersmielke?igsh=dmk5ejZvODlqdm1zFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thats_so_cycling?igsh=MW53cGEwaW52NW53aA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

In this episode we enter the wonderful world of hill climbing, a kind of underground sub-culture in the world of British cycling. Albie and friends get to meet the GCN team. We also talk about what there is to love about pro cycling, Albie has some interesting perspectives. Enjoy!

Our 2nd episode!Albie gets to meet and ride with x pro cyclist Jens Voigt 'Jensie', quite an experience for all of us. We also go to the Tour of Britain and watch Tour De France winner Geraint Thomas ride his last race as a professional cyclist plus double Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel shows us how to time trial through the Welsh Valleys. We discuss women's pro cycling and there are some lively debates and opinions. Enjoy!

Welcome to our first episode!We introduce a bit about us and why we are doing this podcast. It also features our wild and at times chaotic trip to watch the Tour De France in Carcassonne and includes Albie’s first ever on-the-ground interview. Not what either of us expected! Once home, we reflect on the Tour and also what is to come in our next episode. We are assuming listeners will also be fans of pro-cycling as there is little explanation of who everyone is at the race, context will come in later episodes. Maybe. Hope you enjoy!
