#224 - Lucas Burgoyne & Luke Fetzer: National Crit Champs on Winning Athens, the 90-Foot Rig & Building Something Nobody's Done Before

Lucas Burgoyne and Luke Fetzer are back, this time together. Fresh off their win at Athens Twilight — one of the biggest criterium races in America — the dynamic duo behind Team Cadence Cyclery sat down with me still riding the high, freshly arrived in Boulder, and already plotting the next block.This conversation is everything you'd want from these two. We got into how the Athens win came together, why Lucas was eating gummy bears mid-race and nearly started on 30 PSI tires, and what it actually felt like to debut their 90-foot rig at one of America's biggest crits. Lucas breaks down the story of how the rig almost never happened — and the moment he walked back into a business meeting alone, with nothing to lose, and changed the trajectory of the whole organization.We also talk about the Patriot Effect, what scares them most about the level they're building toward, how Luke lost $10,000 worth of Lucas's gear in Salt Lake City and is still slowly paying it back in $50 increments, and why they hate each other off camera but are each other's right-hand man on the bike.Lucas’ IG: https://www.instagram.com/lucas_bourgoyne/Luke’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/sendy_mcgee/Cadence Cyclery: https://www.instagram.com/teamcadencecyclery/ Ways to Support the Show👇🏼Nothing Novel: https://nothingnovel.life Socks: https://stupidquestions.show/pages/sq-merch Newsletter: ⁠https://stupidquestions.show/pages/newsletter-signup
