107 In the CXHAIRS with Bill Schieken
Hey BikeRumor Fans! The Cyclocross World Championship is just around the corner, and we thought there was no better time to have our buddy Bill Schieken of CXHAIRS on the podcast. Jordan sits down with Bill and chats about the inception of CXHAIRS and how it grew into the last standing real-time coverage of US Cyclocross. But CXHAIRS covers more than the domestic cyclocross scene. Over the years, they have grown to have European coverage and moved to a substack-style model.They offer deep dives into race coverage with fantastic in your face race and venue photography. Bill isn't only a cyclocross correspondent king; he was also once part of Trek Factory Racing. He discusses his favorite times documenting the team and shares stories of hanging with the athletes. The discussion moves into how SVENNESS came about, and we might see some new Episodes. Lastly, Jordan and Bill discuss the announcement of DCCX being the home for the 2025 Pan-American championships. There are LOTS packed into this episode, so if you're a fan of racing in parking garages, basketball (you heard that correctly), and all things for the love of bikes - this is a must-listen.

105 - How to Conquer Cold Weather Cycling and Crush Your Winter Rides
Welcome to BikeRumor Podcast #106 How to Conquer Cold Weather Cycling and Crush Your Winter Rides This episode covers cold-weather cycling and how to dress best for success when the temperature drops. Jordan chats with Lani Benson and Matt Kent from Pearl Izumi. We start with the basics of dressing for winter riding and quickly get to the specifics of how to get the most from your gear. If the weather near you is getting colder and the trainer is looking more and more tempting, chill out (by grabbing a coffee or snack) and listen to this podcast. We start with the laying basics as a refresher and introduction for new all-year-round outdoor cyclists. Next, we move into how to build a kit for your type of rider and training needs. Then, we move on to mid-layers and shells, gloves, and shoe covers. Finally, we wrap up with all the tips and tricks Pearl Izumi learns from working with the best cycling athletes from around the world. Lani and Matt have so much information on the technical aspects of winter layering that we could have talked for two hours or more. But don't worry — they'll be back in spring with a special guest!
