  Ep. 134 Break the Cycle: BTC 200-mile Ride

  S01 E134

  40:44

  Started as a 200-mile ride from West Des Moines to Arnolds Park at Lake Okoboji, Iowa more than a dozen years ago, Break the Cycle is now a series of cycling events, run relays, and other endurance events across the US, UK and Norway, which raise funds for Hope for Justice to transform lives in the fight against human trafficking. The flagship event continues to be the Break the Cycle 200, where we ride 200 miles together in a single day with one purpose: to end human trafficking and modern-day slavery. Bike Talk with Dave rode along in one of the support vehicles (with the legendary Lang Wightman) and broke out Mr. Microphone at rest stops along the way to talk with riders (and the Mayor of the final pass-through town on the route) to ask why they're riding and just how the day was going! My co-host Dee has done it for 10 years, so she had to help open the show!

  Ep. 133 Remembering Chris Lillig with Greg Duethman and Ken Lefler

  Ep. 133 Remembering Chris Lillig with Greg Duethman and Ken Lefler

  S01 E133

  47:20

  Chris Lillig was an Iowa City cyclist who was killed by a drunk driver in 1996, but continues to be a positive influence on cycling in the Midwest today. River Products Company, a stone company where he worked, has supported the biggest races in Iowa (and the world!) for the past 23 years, first the Old Capital Criterium then the Friday Night Races at Jingle Cross and now at the Stone Crusher 100=mile race at the 2024 core4 - a race which covers all surfaces, from pavement to crushed stone to singletrack. Having never met Chris myself, I was curious who he was and why his name continues to be a major part of some of the biggest events in the area. Enter Greg Duethman and Ken Lefler, two long-time cyclists and good friends of Chris. They recount what made Chris such a special human and strong cyclist. They then help us understand why it's important to Chris' family and friends to keep his memory alive and support bike racing to this day, nearly thirty years after his death.

  What can you say about JP? Beyond his cycling accolades, which are many, words like kind, friendly, thoughtful and generous sit right next to competitive, driven, adventurous, curious and... maybe a little crazy! His first go on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route was on a tandem with his wife of many adventures; Tracey. After more than 25 years of racing, including a dozen times up the Iditarod Trail, seven times down the spine of the Rockies on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, winning the first Silk Road Mountain Bike Race, he now gives back through the industry of Jay Petervary! Consulting, coaching, weekend courses on bikepacking and winter camping, and hosts both a winter fatbike race in Fat Pursuit and now a community-centered gravel race and ride in his hometown of Victor Idaho; the Teton Valley Backyard Rally on July 6, 2024. Filled with millions of stories from his endless miles of travel by bicycle, JP was kind enough to carve out some time to share some of them with us. www.jaypetervary.com www.tetonvalleygravel.com www.fatpursuit.com oin Dave at the core4, where no surface is left untouched in Iowa City on August 17.

  Danielle Ravnikar had an unlikely road to professional cycling, finding her way through dance to the starting line of the Elite Woman's race at the 2024 Unbound. Would her time on the sidelines of the Minnesota Vikings as an NFL Cheerleader be enough to get her to the finish line of her first 200-mile gravel race? Only time would tell. Danielle Ravnikar is a member of the Mazda Orange Seal cycling team and was kind enough to spend some time on a call to talk about her journey to the starting line in Emporia, Kansas, and then her struggles to the finish line. Follow Danielle on instagram at https://www.instagram.com/danielle_ravnikar/ and her Mazda Orange Seal team at https://www.instagram.com/mazdaorangeseal/ Join Dave at the core4, where no surface is left untouched in Iowa City on August 17.

  Recently, Cade popped into my life for a minute, thanks to a friend having a birthday party and Matt Zimmer bringing his teammate to said party on an e-bike. "It was a rest day,,," Cade is one of many weapons on the formidable Project Echelon Cycling Team and at a recent weekend of racing along the Mississippi River, Cade took 3/4 wins, throwing down 1700+ watts in the process. It was a good time to have the multi-time national champion on.
