Ep. 140 – Tulsa Tough, U.S. Nationals with Michael Garrison and Cole Davis

This week we are joined by recurring guests Michael and Cole. Boy, do we have a lot to talk about: Boulder is a party town, Tulsa Tough behind the scenes, how Cole got punched mid-race by a guy who got dropped, why Athen’s Twilight is actually a harder event, Dario is the real deal, how other racers never mention the fresh kit designs, wait - are crits actually hard? We then get into the USAC Nationals breakdown, helping others (juniors) see the big picture, exactly what happened at Crit Nats, Modern Adventure’s perplexing strategy,  sending DM’s “imagine if you would’ve pulled”, how the road race compares to Knoxville, the perils of running a 1 X, bike selection dilemmas of the SV vs. Diamante, why style watts matter, and what’s next on the dirt. Chad breaks down Bassano del Grappa as a riding destination and why the Million Dreams Rats Ride in Milano might be the greatest in the world.
