The Packfiller Cycling Podcast

Sometimes, the bike just isn't your friend. Oh, and a wild animal makes things worse.

It was bound to happen, but nobody is ever prepared when it does. Saying goodbye to a bike. Also, Vuelta updates and opinions, and actually considering RUNNING.

Sometimes, it isn't you, it's me. I think we should race on other teams...Also, the greatest Tour finish since Lemond/Fignon.

Ever want to hang up the wheels? No, like, for good? Even worse... ever hang them up and try to come back? We've been there, and are here for you.

Tread very lightly. Bike riders don't think of themselves as dorks, geeks, or nerds. But they are.

Please be prepared... This episode is all over the place, just like the Olympic village.

Wrapping up the, arguably, greatest Tour in a good while, and dealing with the HEEEEAAAAAT.

On our first entry into The Packfiller Perspective, we discuss the challenge of making races happen. Ace Bollinger is the Director for the Tour de Bloom, an ever expanding stage race in Wenatchee, Washington, that continues to see great growth. Ace brings a perspective of building community and getting people of all walks of life to follow cycling and get involved. Plus, he likes a good beer, which is a plus with us.

Tonight's episode covers week 2 of the Tour de France (duh) but also enters the human herd/pack mentality, and what makes shoppers such a-holes. Plus Jackson introduces the "Cool Down" and Paul makes Pat chill the FU.
