    Meet Charles Ouimet
    May 2 2022
    This week we talk to YouTuber Charles Ouimet! Here is a little more about Charles. CHARLES OUIMET AKA THE ‘’RACEFLUENCER’’ I’m a Montreal-based cycling Youtuber, elite athlete, and commercial photographer. Combining my passion for sports and content creation, I’ve devoted myself to building an audience who loves riding bikes, loves cycling gear and loves cycling adventures. Whether it’s a road, gravel, TT, Fat, Track bike, I’m always up for the challenge. Throughout the last year, I’ve fully embraced and appropriated the term ‘’racefluencer’’ to myself. Why? Because even though I create cycling videos and photos, I can still rip any bikes, outsprint actual pro-cyclists and make good results at any race I attend. Follow on YouTube

    A Zwifting We Will Go! Meet Katheryn Curi
    Mar 21 2022
    Katheryn has always been active in sports. Growing up in Connecticut, she played field hockey, basketball, softball, and lacrosse before finding rowing where she was a member of the crew team at Mount Holyoke College. After graduating and moving to Vermont, she expanded her activities to include rock climbing, backpacking and mountain biking before getting bit by the road cycling bug when she was in graduate school. After graduating with a MS from University of Vermont in 2002, Katheryn packed up her bags (and bikes!) and moved to California to pursue being a full time cyclist. She found a home with the Webcor Professional Women's Cycling Team where she found success in 2005 in winning Elite Nationals and in 2008 in winning the Geelong World Cup. She represented the US in four World Championships and is most proud of her dedication to being a team player. Since retiring from racing, Katheryn has stayed involved in women's cycling through being a director sportif for the Amy D Foundation for three years and most recently for the pro team, Tibco-SVB. She loves leading group rides in her local area of Northern California and having adventures around the world that involve being on a bike. Katheryn got into Zwift several years ago and now seems to be having cycling career 2.0! Important Links: Victim, survivor, warrior: The transformation of Genevieve Jeanson

  • Finding The Right Note – A Chat with Emily Newsom

    Finding The Right Note – A Chat with Emily Newsom
    Feb 21 2022
    A Little From Emily:  I grew up in a family of ten children, the fifth child to a preacher. We lived in the small town of Burlington WA and grew up in a way that is often labeled now as “free range” aka an healthy, wholesome and adventurous childhood. I was introduced to music at the age of seven and still remember my first piano lesson. The teacher had to put a stool under my dangling feet and I was immediately captivated by the instrument. As lessons progressed I recall rushing home to learn whichever new piece had been assigned me. Years down the road found me as an insecure and confused twenty year old who knew nothing of what she wanted beyond the fact that she loved music. I spent the next 7 years of my life completing undergraduate and graduate degrees in piano performance. The transition into sport may seem unlikely, but the discipline of being a musician translated into what it took to become a professional athlete. The pathway seemed to open before me, though not without a great deal of sacrifice and commitment. Now, eight years after my first road race, I find myself in my fifth year being part of a team that has grown very dear to me. I am now married to a wonderful man who has never once doubted my capabilities, and am a mother to a beautiful girl of six and a half years. Some of my happiest moments are at home, making a favorite meal while my husband and daughter laugh together as they build a castle or paint a forest. Sometimes I wonder what drives me to leave this wonderful haven and put myself through the suffering provided by the sport of cycling. But I know there’s an innate desire within me to find my limits, to push past fears, to show my little girl that with hard work and perseverance, great things are achievable.

  • Around The World – A Chat with Mark Beaumont

    Around The World – A Chat with Mark Beaumont
    Feb 6 2022
    This week we talk to Mark Beaumont after answering two listener questions and getting an update on Nicks' new bike! About Mark Over the past two decades Mark has pushed the limits of endurance, spoken at thousands of events and worked in over 100 countries. Amongst other Guinness World Records he remains the fastest person to have cycled around the planet. Marks passion for entrepreneurship takes him into a range of businesses, backing innovation and advising on growth. He lives in Edinburgh, Scotland with his wife Nicci and two daughters. First Question I have too much junk in my trunk - what do I really need to carry on a 30-180 minute ride. I don't want to have to hire a sherpa but also don't want to have to call AAA for the most minor issue. What is the right size package for group activities? -TooMuchJunkInTheTrunk Second Question "I've come to an impasse with my bike. It's getting older, 105 10speed and aluminum. I like to ride all kinds of surfaces and I am not a racer by any stretch. As my wife says I am frugal, what are some really good aluminum options on the market. I would prefer to keep my organs on the inside and not sell them. Thanks, (Frugal) Fred"
