As Adam and I pedaled through the ups and downs of life, we found that the real stories often happen off the beaten path. This episode is packed with laughter, personal challenges, and the nitty-gritty of gearing up for cycling adventures. We kick things off with heartfelt tales—from family issues to Adam's inspiring weight loss journey—and how these personal challenges are met with humor and support within our tight-knit cycling community. Remember that time I chose a salad over spirits in DeSoto? Well, turns out, it was more than just a meal choice; it was a nod to the lifestyle changes many of us are embracing.

The journey doesn't stop there—we saddle up and share insights from the 15th annual Ride for Recovery at Dawn Farm, where a downpour couldn't quench the fiery spirit of participants devoted to supporting addiction recovery. Our local bike shop, Wheels in Motion, shines as a beacon of support, proving that community strength extends far beyond fair weather. And just when you think you've got us figured out, we throw in a curveball with tantalizing clues about a mysterious town linked to cowboys and shipwrecked TV crew—a little brain teaser to keep those wheels turning.

Now, let's talk logistics; you won't believe the lengths (and weights) we go to when prepping for a cycling expedition. We unpack our travel tales, from the glory of self-inflating mattresses to the tactical genius of Milwaukee Packout toolboxes. We don't stop at the how-to—we share the hilarious mishaps that can happen when CO2 cartridges and TSA agents mix, and we delve into the essentials every cyclist's toolkit should have. Whether it's trimming down your wallet for the essentials or tossing in leisure items to elevate the experience, we've got the tips to make your next cycling journey a smooth ride. G

As I celebrated another trip around the sun with a brisk 48-mile ride, it struck me just how intertwined our lives are with the cycle of our wheels—and this episode is all about those connections. We're spinning tales from the abrupt halt of Ride the Rockies 2024 to the cherished memories of Georgia's Spring Tune-Up, all while keeping our spirits high for what's next in the cycling world.

Shifting gears, we take you on a scenic tour through the upcoming Shoreline ride in Michigan, painting a picture of the route confirmations and community festivities that await. You'll feel the anticipation building as we discuss the intricate event logistics, from the transportation of bikes to the thrilling optional rides.

As the wheels of our bikes spin, so do the tales of our cross-country odyssey. Join Adam, myself, and our cycling comrades Ryan Roenigk and Bruce White about the physical endurance it takes to tackle long-distance tours; it's a tribute to the emotional connections and heartfelt stories forged along the way. Think of it as a mosaic, where each pedal stroke paints a stroke of the past and every turn unveils a narrative of our nation's milestones.

Our journey takes us through small towns and big cities, across bridges and into the hearts of communities that have felt the ripples of history. We celebrate the eccentricity of shared adventures, like the couple conquering miles on a tandem bike and the inspiring triumphs of an Eagle Scout with cerebral palsy. Bruce's meticulous planning and Ryan's generous donations come to life as we recount the creation of memorials and the planning of future tours. The 2026 ride beckons with the promise of fireworks in Philadelphia, marking significant American anniversaries and offering a chance for listeners to ride alongside history.

As the sun sets on another episode, we don't just bid farewell; we leave you with an invitation to the open road. Whether it's the touch of tribute at O'Hara's Pub or the anticipation of cycling through historic sites, our tales are a reminder of the beauty in shared journeys and the strength found in remembrance. So rest up, gear up, and if your heart's in it, join us in pedaling through the chapters of America's story, where every mile is a memory, and every ride, a legacy.

Adam  couldn't resist the call of the open road and the joy of a 34-mile ride—despite Michael having a recent health hiccup that kept his trusty Peloton gathering dust. Michael and I share these moments and more, laughing with our Starkville fan over my penchant for cooler weather and tipping our helmets to the cycling culture in Dublin, where every pedal stroke feels like a toast with a pint of Guinness. It's the personal stories, like these and Scott Garwick's remarkable journey from anxiety to resilience on two wheels, that make our cycling adventures more than just a pastime—they're a testament to transformation and friendship.
The roads we navigate aren't just paved with asphalt, but with the camaraderie of fellow cyclists and the mishaps that only add to our rich tapestry of memories. From the freedom of recumbent biking to the thrill of completing long-distance rides like RAGBRAI and RAW, we dive into the experiences that bond us. We even chuckle over a friend's forgetful moment, forgetting cycling shoes, on a 155-mile ride—a reminder that the journey itself is often as memorable as the destination. And beyond the laughter, we're serious about the issues that matter to our community, discussing the regulation of motorized bicycles on public trails, and celebrating the spaces that allow us to revel in our shared passion for cycling.
Wrapping up, we're thrilled to tease a new segment where we hear directly from you, our listeners, with our upcoming mailbag feature. It's about creating a richer, more connected experience, where your stories and questions fuel our discussions and inspire our rides. So whether you're planning to join me in Hell, Michigan for "One Hell of a Ride," or simply tuning in for the love of cycling, we invite you to subscribe and be part of the road adventures tha

Who says you can't mix laughter with history and a hearty dose of cycling culture? Michael and I, your Cycling Men of Leisure, have returned with stories spilling from the saddlebags. This time around, I humbly eat humble pie over a calendar mishap, and we dodge severe weather with the same finesse we use to avoid potholes on a downhill sprint. As we swap tales of Caribbean cruises and faux espionage, our banter traverses the line between the endearing absurdity and the warm camaraderie that fuels our two-wheeled community.

Then, it's time to shift from anecdotes to action, as we trace the wheel ruts back to Starkville, Mississippi, where lumber mills birthed towns and Johnny Cash found a song behind bars. But it's not all about the past; we also tackle the present challenges of training in elevation-starved landscapes and cheer on our Georgian friends who clock in mileage that'd make your odometer blush. With Strava club shout-outs and under-desk exercise equipment tales, we're pedaling a message of health, happiness, and a hint of competitive spirit.

Come for the history, stay for the rants — because who doesn't need to let off some steam about those perennially oblivious aisle hogs? We end this ride with speculation about a mystery listener's roots and the simple, unadulterated joy of a warm ride in Michigan that makes the heart race faster than a downhill segment. Buckle on your helmet and slip into your brightest jersey; Michael and I are here to keep the pedal talk lively and the company top-notch.

Every pedal stroke tells a story, and ours is a tale of camaraderie and contemplation as we relive our heart-pumping journey from Lansing to Mackinac, exploring Michigan's quintessential 'up north' spirit. This episode isn't just about the miles we've covered; it's about the stories we've gathered along the way—from the awe-inspiring Torch Lake to the serene Tunnel of Trees. Yet, in the midst of celebration, we also take a moment to honor those affected by the recent tragedy at the Kansas City Chief's rally, reminding us that our community's heart beats together, both in joy and sorrow.

From the iconic celeste of a Bianchi to the steadfast Trek that's carried us through countless adventures, this episode is a love letter to the bikes that have become extensions of ourselves. We explore the warp and weft of bicycle evolution, from local shops to global giants, and discover how brands like Worksman Cycles and Merida have shaped the industry. Join our banter on bike assembly escapades and indulge in the shared excitement as our cycling team swells with diversity, gearing up for the Atlanta to Savannah ride with anticipation as heady as the Georgia breeze.

Finally, we tease your curiosity with the identity of a mystery town, share chuckles over RAGBRAI memories, and consider how our 'cycling family' grows with every shared sunset and hill conquered. There's laughter, a hint of nostalgia, and a friendly jab from Tripp to tackle more hills in our training. So pump up your tires and join us; as you listen, you might just feel the wind in your hair and the road stretching out ahead.

Buckle up, folks! Michael's back from the sunny climes of Florida, and we've got tales to tell – from Michael's business escapades to the whimsy of our two-wheeled journeys. In this jocular episode of Road Adventures of Cycling Men of Leisure, we, Adam and Michael, reminisce over the mishaps and mayhem of our past rides, and Michael reveals just how spot-on his Taylor Swift cam-spotting skills are, Adam, not to be outdone, recounts his Super Bowl betting saga that kept us on the edge of our seats, ending with a toast-worthy triumph.

Ever wondered who'd be your fantasy cycling sidekick if Hollywood stars were in the running? We spin into a debate over the quirkiest cycling accessories before switching gears to discuss pedal system predicaments and our own fashion faux pas. But the heart of the chat beats around the dream of riding with cinematic legends, mulling over whether we'd prefer the soothing narrative of Morgan Freeman or the rugged charm of John Wayne pedaling beside us. It's a delightful conundrum that'll have you picking your own pedal partner from Tinseltown's finest.

As the ride winds down, we muse over the baffling absence of listeners from Wyoming – a mystery as vast as Wyoming's highways. Our banter takes us through a nostalgic lane filled with 8-tracks and cassettes, and we chuckle over the audacity of naming towns after oneself. In a spirited end to our adventure, we challenge you to guess a mystery community from a handful of historical breadcrumbs. So, grab your helmet, it's time for a laughter-laced journey down memory lane with a pinch of Hollywood magic and a dash of geographical intrigue.

As Adam and Michael reflect on the friendly ribbing between rival teams, we can't help but feel grateful for the camaraderie that sports bring into our lives.

Strap on your helmets for a cross-country cycling journey through memory lane, where the plains of Nebraska and the gusts of Kansas remind us that adventure is found in both the known and the unexpected. We recount the exhilaration of rides like BRAN, Tour de Nebraska, and BAK's 50th, despite the jigsaw puzzle that is our schedules. As we muse over future rides, from ODRAM  to the scenic Shoreline, we ponder the logistics of bike travel and our personal ties to the thrills of aviation.

Feeling the wind in our hair and the buzz of New Year's still in our veins, Michael and I, Adam, couldn't be more thrilled to recount the festive fireworks that launched us into planning our most ambitious escapade yet: the Big Brag 2024 from Atlanta to Savannah. Franklin Johnson drops by with a cyclist's treasure map, tracing a route peppered with historical gems and Southern splendor, from Oglethorpe University's starting line to the cobblestones of River Street. We're calling all free spirits to join the Cycling Men of Leisure team, as we prep and plot every mile of our pedal-powered pilgrimage.

Along the way, we're taking detours into the hearts of Georgia's quaint towns, where college quads and Hollywood tales abound. Oxford's academic charm gives way to Milledgeville's antebellum pride and the town's complicated embrace of the Rivian plant. We're not just pedaling across Georgia; we're savoring its eclectic beats, from the potential thrill of a Millageville concert to the traditional bandana earned after a grueling century ride. Hear about the nostalgic pull of Statesboro's blues and the growing pains of college towns, as we wheel from one local festival to the next.

As the journey's end nears, the allure of Savannah's Spanish moss becomes irresistible. We'll trade in our bikes for a leisurely stroll down memory lane and through the city's historic squares.

As the clock ticks closer to the BIG BRAG 2024, join Michael and Adam and our special guest, Franklin Johnson, in a heartfelt celebration of the newly announced route from Atlanta to Savannah. Feel the past come alive beneath your wheels as we pedal through Georgia's picturesque towns, each with a story to tell. With his usual charisma, Franklin reveals the path's nod to a historic military march, and we can't help but bubble over with enthusiasm about the special layover day in Milledgeville—a town with a charm you have to experience to believe.

Every turn of the pedal on this journey is a brush with history, a ride through nature's canvases, and a visit to the quaintest of Southern towns. Hear us recount the allure of Covington and Oxford, where movie magic meets the streets, and the familar touch of Social Circle, a place close to Franklin's heart. Midweek, we'll be taking a well-earned breather in Milledgeville, savoring local distillery tours or perhaps catching up on laundry—the simple pleasures that keep us cyclists going. And for those with less time on their hands, we chat about the 'Brag Lite' option, ensuring everyone can join in, even if just for a shorter stint.

Our episode wouldn't be complete without sharing the anticipation that builds as we approach Savannah. We'll talk about swapping two wheels for a tube on the river in Milledgeville, the vibrant university town of Statesboro, and the thrill of rolling into Savannah's historic grandeur. Franklin even tossed around the idea of a side trip to Tybee Island or enjoying a game with the Savannah Bananas. Finally, we cap off with a nod to camaraderie and international cycling adventures that await those who join BRAG, because a community that cycles together grows together, through history, culture, and the simple joy

Get ready for an action-packed episode of Road Adventures with your favorite Cycling Men of Leisure, Adam and Michael, where we cycle down the roads less traveled and explore the corners of society often overlooked. This episode is particularly special as we shine the spotlight on women in cycling - the hurdles they have hurdled, the accomplishments they've achieved, and the influence they're commanding in the sport. 

We also take the liberty to vent out our frustrations in a brand new segment we're calling "Rants of Dissatisfaction". We tackle the topic of winter driving, touching upon the reckless behaviors of some drivers and the chaos snow brings on the roads, especially in places like Denver, Colorado. If you're someone who has ever felt a surge of irritation while stuck in traffic in the snow, you might find yourself nodding along with our rants.

We're not just all talk and rants, though. We're also planning some thrilling biking adventures, and we can't wait to share our experiences and journeys with you! And just when you think our episode is coming to an end, we hit you with a teaser of a special project we've been working on for January 1st and a heads-up about our upcoming Christmas Eve episode. So, stick with us on Road Adventures with Cycling Men of Leisure for a slice of life on two wheels, some well-deserved ranting, and a whole lot of adventure!

Feeling adventurous? Come along for a ride that combines the exhilaration of an RV road trip with the intoxicating charm of Kentucky's bourbon country. From witnessing the fascinating process of bourbon-making at the Four Roses distillery to the historic explorations of Woodford, the oldest distillery in the U.S., it's a ride filled with unexpected turns and memorable moments.

We sure had a chuckle at Phil Kollins whiskey recommendation, and our friends Adam and Kelly brought a wave of romance as they prepared for their wedding. As we pedaled through picturesque trails and shared light-hearted banter, we couldn't help but reminisce about our Kentucky  road trip. And who knew a Dave Matthews Band and a Taylor Swift bumper sticker could incite such hilarity and reside on the same ride?

Yet, amidst all the fun, we also confronted our cycling shortcomings and the importance of consistency. Whether it was debating the benefits of walking versus cycling or strategizing our rides around Mackinaw Island, we knew it was crucial to keep those pedals moving. So pull up a seat, join the ride and share in our bourbon-infused, bike-fueled escapades. Remember, it's always a great day to ride a bicycle!

Strap on your helmets and gear up for an enlightening ride with us, the Cycling Men of Leisure! As we put our feet to the pedals and navigate the mystifying world of bike repairs, we're on the hunt for a bike industry guru who can help shed some light on our technical queries. And while we're at it, hear how one of us has been stalling to take his bike into the shop for repairs. Will a pact finally get him to make the move?

Curious about the laws governing e-bikes? We've got you covered. We're digging deep into the thorny regulations surrounding e-bikes across the United States; from the three-class system to sticker classifications and state-by-state requirements. So, buckle up as we switch gears and talk about the exciting Bourbon Country Burn event. We'll take you through the routes, and give you a lowdown on the unique Sherpa Service bottle service.

But, what's a cycling adventure without the right shorts? We're sharing our insights on the five common mistakes most cyclists make with their shorts and chamois. Let’s dispel the myths and misconceptions as we discuss the importance of gender-specific shorts, and why more padding doesn't always mean more comfort.

Ever crossed paths with an old friend in the most extraordinary place? Well, during the RAGBRAI  50th Anniversary bike ride, we did exactly that, reminding us that cycling is about so much more than just miles and elevation. This ride, complete with steep climbs, sweltering heat, and mechanical issues, brought us face-to-face with the resilience of every rider, the camaraderie of the cycling community, and the kindness of strangers.

Riding through the small town of Glidden, Iowa, we had the pleasure of meeting Michelle Fay, who shared her dedication to preparing for the RAGBRAI 50th Anniversary ride. Her stories about the town's logo, or lack thereof, and the mysterious 'Rooster Rock' added a fascinating layer to our journey. The ride also took us on a deep dive into the world of e-bikes with Sue, the unofficial mayor of RAGBRAI, who shared her insights into the different e-bike classes and sparked a thought-provoking discussion on the place of class three bikes on the road.

This episode is not just about the adventure of a challenging ride; it's also about connection, resilience, and embracing the unexpected. From the dizzying heights of 4400 feet elevation on a singe day, to the serene beauty of Storm Lake at sunset, from battling mechanical issues to cherishing unexpected encounters, our RAGBRAI 50th Anniversary ride was a rollercoaster of emotions and experiences. So, hop on and join us as we relive this unforgettable ride, reminisce about old friends, and explore potential new rides for the coming year.

Can you imagine combining your love for cycling with visiting distilleries or tackling home improvement projects? On "Road Adventures Of Cycling Men of Leisure," Michael gears up for a Michigan adventure filled with distillery tours and fresh air, while Adam juggles cycling with his home renovation. We also get into Michael's recent escapades, including an intriguing whiskey tasting event called Legends of Whiskey, where he sampled a standout spirit from Dodge City, Kansas. Adam shares his own summer pursuits, balancing golf and cycling and pondering how to merge the two passions creatively.

Ever skipped a familiar ride to explore new terrain, only to worry about unpredictable weather? Our discussion touches on exactly that—anticipation and trepidation for upcoming cycling events, concerns about river flooding, and the excitement of new adventures up north. We reminisce about past rides, including a particularly noisy camping night by a railroad track, and highlight this year's entertainment lineup featuring bands like Hairball, Night Ranger, and Pork Tornados. Amidst this, there's a heartfelt moment as we wish Margaret good luck on her ride, with a hint of an apology from Adam on the horizon.

How often do you laugh at the little mistakes that make life interesting? We kick off with a humorous anecdote about mistakenly calling Margaret's cycling team by the wrong name, leading to a lighthearted apology and a reflection on team dynamics. Margaret's off to RAGBRAI, and we emphasize the camaraderie among cyclists. Moving on to our "Listener Spotlight," we share clues about a historically significant community, inviting engagement and guesses from our listeners. The correct answer? .......! We also dive into fun facts about the 1889 Paris World's Fair, aiming to spark more curiosity a
