Speed Metal Cycling

Tour of Flanders 2017, what else do you expect? Oh, we are launching our Patreon site next Sunday right after Paris-Roubaix!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We discuss the Volta Catalunya, Dwars door Vlaanderen, the E3 Harelbeke, Gent-Wevelgem, and we look forward to the Tour of Taiwan (ok, we only mention it in passing), The Three Days of De Panne, the GP Miguel Indurain and we make predictions for the Tour of Flanders. Pretty much all cycling this episode. Sorry.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sectional couches, Richard Nixon, manslaughter, David Harmon, helmet soccer, daddy sodas, Dave Attell and Pocahontas. That and much, much, much more (nonsense) in this episode of the best podcast ever: THE Speed Metal Cycling Podcast.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Klaus rejoins the gang, but does so from an echoey cave. He sounds like the spirit of an evil cycling fan who isn't scary at all. We apologize for that. We discuss Paris-Nice, Tirreno-Adriatico and the Ronde van Drenthe. Natalia and caveman Klaus have plenty of opinions, while SkullKrusher goes on about some nonsense and Mike... well we thought Mike was dead for a little, or maybe had just passed out. Fortunately , that was not the case. We think he just fell asleep.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Scandal at Sky!! And we barely talk about it. We do talk about the Strade Bianche (men's and ladies'), the beginning of Paris-Nice and some other races. As usual we talk other nonsense including tattooing, cat agility, pure breed dogs and other crap we are forgetting now.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

YES, we know Sagan is not Lithuanian! Klaus misses all the fun in today's episode. His loss. We talk about the Dubai Tour (just a little bit), the Omloop (men's and women's), Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne and the Colombian National Championships. Also discussed, Peter Sagan, Tom Hanks, the President of Lithuania, Gaviria, Henao, Chaves, Haribo, food poisoning and liquid poop. See? I told you it was Klaus' loss.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Mike is back. Unfortunately, so is SkullKrusher. We discuss the first few races of the European season and Klaus retells the best joke ever told for Mike's enjoyment. 'Krusher promises that they will record  more often now that the season is in full force.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We discuss the Tour Down Under and manage to do so without mentioning koala bears or kangaroos a single time. As if that wasn't enough we also answer listener questions for a good 35 minutes. Yeah, you read it right.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Since Mike is on assignment, the Colombians have absolute freedom to do as they please, once again. Natalia gets all types of ruffled over the mention of a certain Spanish cyclist, we discuss our overall ambivalence toward the Tour Down Under, but barely mention Willunga Hill, which is unbelievable. Klaus brings out the big guns with the best joke ever told. At least 'Krusher believes so. He laughed for like 3 minutes straight. Something tells us this is not the last time we'll hear the punch line. "Punch" as in you guys will be "punching" yourselves in the face every time it comes up again, because of its sheer vacuousness.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We decided to record this episode during the Speed Metal Cycling holiday party. We were all pretty drunk, so we are not responsible for the content of this episode; or any other episode. Ever. Space poop.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Wow. This episode will sure break all the records for suckiness and horribility. We have proven, once again, that we have no business recording ourselves talk about anything, much less cycling. The rambles are incoherent, drawn out and dull. If you make it through the whole thing, we suggest therapy. There must be something seriously wrong with you and the way you precess information. Your insecurities must be put in check.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The gang starts the episode discussing painful dental procedures and clench-provoking eye surgeries for the condition known as 'surfer eye.' After that, we talk about the World Championships, before turning their attention to the new Colombian Pro-Conti team Manzana Postobon. If you make it past the dental talk, you'll be rewarded with a fun episode. Good luck!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

TUEsdays get a lot of attention from the world of cycling these days. Not only because the Speed Metal Cycling podcast comes out on Tuesdays, but because of this hacker/Sky Team/Wiggins thing. The guys (and gal) discuss. They also tackle the tough topic of wether or not Gaviria's jingle jangle should be kissed by other riders. World Championship picks are made, and the ridiculous heat of Qatar (apparently pronounced Gtrr) is made fun of. All this and much more in this happy episode of your mom's favorite podcast.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Red Hook Crit angry dude gets plenty of airtime and, of course, 'Krusher threatens to punch him in the face. The question is: before or after Sergio? The team discusses Il Lombardia and a little bit of Milano-Torino. The rest of the time is pretty much you average run-of-the mill SMC podcast. Blah, blah, blah... you know how it is.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We find out that Iron Maiden makes SkullKrusher cry. Seriously. Topics in this episode range from early 90s hip-hop to (the) Eagles and Steely Dan. From the Giro dell'Emilia to Tom Danielson's girlfriend. The mystery of why sedans (saloons, in the UK) do not have read window wipers is solved by Klaus. What else, what else? Can't remember anything else, but we're sure there's more...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

How long can you talk about a parade? Well, today these guys broke the record and managed to do it for 4 hours and 38 minutes. Of course, we edited it down to about 16 painful minutes, but the original ramble was nothing short of epic. Other topics covered included the European Championships, and some transfer news. Natalia brought her tape recorder and attempted to keep the rest of the guys in check by playing annoying sound effects throughout the episode. God bless her soul.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's a full house once again. And no, we are not talking Danny, Joey, Uncle Jesse and Kimmy. Klaus, Mike and Natalia join the SkullKrusher for a fun-filled episode. They discuss Colombian witchcraft in California, and the amazing Vuelta that was. Ekekos come up more than once, so when you are looking them up, make sure you spell it correctly: Ekekos.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

If this episode is half as nuts and exciting as the Vuelta has been, then we should be able to retire happy knowing that we published the awesomest episode ever. That's not gonna happen. As you may have guessed, tho, we discuss the last few stages of the Vuelta and also talk about bull fighting, Cuban witchcraft and acid. No, not that kind. The kind that burns your face, nipples and your unmentionables. Enjoy... we did.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The episode should have been called 'An Ode to Nairo Quintana.' Listen and you'll see why. We discuss the Vuelta, some talk of transfers and rumors, and Natalia tells stories about meeting Diana Penuela and Iris Slappendel of the UHC women's team. Also, we ask for your help filling out our survey. That's about it.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
