E491 – Thursday Night Ride & Tracklocross! with Mariana & Jeremy

November 11, 2019Advocacy, Bicycling, Communication, Cyclocross, Fun, Infrastructure, Racing, Urban Designsprocketpodcast

Mariana & Jeremy join this episode to talk about Portland’s Thursday Night Ride (TNR), inspired in part by Mariana’s desire for something like Guadalajara’s “Cyclista Nocturna” and a lack of regular, noncompetitive events in town. They also explain Tracklocross, an event which is competitive, in which one rides a track bike on rough terrain and has a great time doing it!

E428 – Seth Knows Type 2 Fun

September 1, 2018Adventure, Bicycling, Racing, Touringsprocketpodcast

Note: this episode contains backup audio that captured what our primary equipment failed to. We apologize for the audio quality, but figure you’d rather hear a lo-fi version than none at all. Looking forward to bringing you a full quality show next week!

Seth did the Steens Mazama 1000, an endurance racing event. He knows a thing or two about “type 2 fun,” the kind of fun where you tell stories afterward because it was no fun when it happened! What happened: on the show.

Nathan Jones hasn’t been on the show in a while, and that’s because he’s been busy riding 18,000 miles around the planet. This weekend he gave a presentation at Bike Gallery’s Westmoreland location about the whole trip, including passage through monastery-filled eastern Europe, assembling a bike alone at 4am in an Indian airport, viewing a piece of Skylab at a truck stop in Australia, and letting the wind blow him around for a while in America’s heartland. He also discussed Mike Hall’s legacy and how he carried Mike’s bicycle tire pump the entire way. We’re sharing audio from the entire 2 hour presentation here!

Thanks to Bike Gallery Westmoreland for hosting this event! Visit their new location at 6717 SE Milwaukie Ave, Portland, OR 97202.
