Guests: BMC’s Sport Director Jackson Stewart; Rails-to-Trails President Keith Laughlin
It’s time for the Tour de France! (As if you didn’t know…) AND, this evening we are right there – well, not really; but, our first guest is and it turns out, his team rider Rohan Dennis WON STAGE ONE!
Team BMC Pro racer-turned-sport director Jackson Stewart spoke with me from Utrecht, Holland on Wednesday night right after the team arrived to settle in for Stage 1 on Saturday.
Jackson gives us his perspective on the how the race might unfold – including his hopes for a Yellow Jersey for team leader Tejay Van Garderen. We talk weather, equipment, race radios, and more.
Meantime, Rohan Dennis wears the maillot jeune going into Stage II and I’m sure all of team BMC is celebrating tonight!
After a break and some news, I’m heading on down to Washington, D.C. to speak with Rails-to-Trails director Keith Laughlin about what progress Congress and the Senate have made on the Federal transportation bill.
We also talk about the 50th anniversary of the Elroy-Sparta trail in Wisconsin the first of now over 22,000 miles of trails that have been developed nationwide and how these trails have changed the communities through which they travel.
We also talk about how technology is impacting the Rails-to-Trails organization in an effort to give folks access to information while still keeping the trails pure and serene.
Hope you’re having a safe and fun 4th of July! Just remember to include Outspokencyclist in your plans!
Hi Diane! How are you doing since the Regenexx therapy? I, too, am considering seeing Dr Kruse for knee treatment. Would you make the same decision again? Thanks for showing us your strength and determination!!!!
Hi Jan,
Well, here you go… just so happens the next installment of my blog for Promedica was published today.
http://www.promedicahealthconnect.org/body-and-conditions/my-joint-pain-journey-finding-a-silver-lining-in-a-setback/
Since then, I have been doing really well. Pain is minimal; range of motion still getting better and better. I have been told by the guy I use for muscle/nerve/etc. therapy to not plan on running until Spring. Instead, he wants me to take the fall and winter to build up my quads and get maximum range of motion and flexibility. So – that is my only disappointment.
I’m about 90% toward my other goals – sitting cross-legged and child’s pose in yoga.
Thank you for asking and good luck! If you are a candidate, I think it’s a great decision. Yes I would do it again!
