  • Mountain Biking At 40, 50, and Beyond With Lindsey Richter
    Sep 9 2025

    I first interviewed Lindsey Richter five years ago and that podcast episode became one of the most popular that I've ever done. Much like anyone who has ever been to one of Lindey's Ladies All Ride skills camps, listeners of that episode immediately fell in love with her.

    So obviously, I was super excited to have Lindsey back on the podcast a second time. Lindsey is now 50 and stronger and wiser than ever. She just returned from leading an all-women train down A-Line at Crankworx Whistler, and she continues to help other women develop the same confident, bad-ass energy that she embodies.

    In this interview, we talk about mountain biking as we get older, but this episode is also for anyone who's ever ridden a mountain bike or would like to get on a mountain bike. Lindsey shares her advice for women who are brand new to the sport, how to overcome mental hurdles, why it's so important to build community, and much more!

  • Want To Try Racing? Here's What You Should Know (Advice From Isabella Bertold)
    Aug 26 2025

    Have you ever thought about racing? Isabella Bertold is happy to share what she wishes she had known when she first started out.

    Isabella is a former professional sailor turned pro cyclist who is a wealth of wisdom and knowledge. From her current home in Spain, her hub for training and racing on the European circuit, Isabella chatted with me about all things racing and bicycles.

    She shares her advice for women and girls interested in racing, why she prefers to rely on feeling rather than data, and what has made her so successful in not one (but two!) professional sports!

    Aug 12 2025

    Feeling tired, irritable, and unmotivated to ride? You might be overtrained!

    Yes, it can happen even to those of us who aren't elite athletes. Ramping up training too quickly, life stress, inadequate rest and recovery, and aging can all help contribute.

    In this episode, I share signs that you might be overtraining, what to do about it, and how to prevent it.
