Show #485 – January 4, 2020

Guests: Dean Yobbi; Kristi Mohn; Brian Jenks (yes… THAT Brian!)

This week, we have three guests for you including an extended conversation with me and my husband Brian about… well all kinds of cycling related stuff.

First up is Dean Yobbi – managing editor of BR&IN . Back on December 19th, Dean published an article titled Park Service disbands e-bike advisory group over secret lobbying concerns” – Secret Lobbying and bike industry didn’t compute for me and so, I wanted to know more.

Then, we head on our to Emporia, Kansas – home of the incredibly popular Dirty Kanza gravel races. Kristi Mohn, who was born and raised in Emporia and returned to work and raise her kids there, is the director of the DK Women’s Bike Camp. The 4-day experience is for any woman who wants to learn, improve, and participate in the wildly popular type of riding now termed GRAVEL.

And, finally, , my husband Brian and I chat about many-things-bike .. from Jan Heine’s component predictions for the coming year to why laterals are no longer being used on tandems. It’s a “discussion as usually occurs in our house” type of chat.

Show #84 – April 7, 2012

Another week, and another Outspoken Cyclist with something for everyone. This week it’s Parks, Nutrition, and Ultra-Cycling.

Leading off is an interview with Jon Jarvis, Director of the U.S. National Park Service. Director Jarvis has served the NPS in various capacities for 36 years now, and he has an exciting perspective on the increasing role of cycling in the national parks, including news of a collaboration between the Park Service and Adventure Cycling.

After a short break, Diane speaks with Monique Ryan, MS, RD, author of Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes, 3rd Edition. This comprehensive book gives you the facts and figures you need to know about eating right to ride, run or swim during training and extended duration events.

And we wrap up with a conversation about an event close to home, and close to my heart: Calvin’s 12-Hour Challenge. Race Directors Larry and Christine Graham fill us in on all the details about this ultra-distance event coming up in the Dayton, Ohio area May 5th.
