There's a New Focus Road Bike & USA Cycling Ends Amateur Nationals | The NERO Show Ep. 56

A new FOCUS Izalco Max lands and we dive into both the bike and what we think Focus are up to. USA Cycling REMOVE the amateur nationals from their national calendar, the UK road scene dominates YouTube, with both the biggest channels and most prominent content, is that a good thing? Offseason habits, bike packing, everlasting, park run, pick your poison
