The thread of the bicycle is what ties all our guests together, here on King of the Ride podcast. The thread of the bicycle has been woven through virtually all aspects of Michael Barry's life. His father was a cyclist and made that his profession, his wife is an accomplished professional cyclist, his son Ashlin is one of America's biggest talents coming through the ranks. Michael raced on some of the biggest teams during his time in the pro ranks, he now runs a bicycle brand, Mariposa Bicycles. He's an author to at least three books and has contributed articles to many publications during his time on two wheels. Lots more can be said about Michael, but maybe just listen to this podcast episode and we'll touch on them.

Records are meant to be broken and our two guests today will likely be holding on their titles for a while now. John Keller just took the outright record in the cycling event up the hallowed 7.6 mile climb to the highest peak in New England. Often called "one of the hardest climbs on the planet", just six days prior, Scott Speed set the best time in a car. You might remember Scott as a guest way way back in episode 14!

This episode has lots of great coverage, but one of the best ways to understand what's going on, check out this ridiculous on board camera from Scott's race: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwfNDzRcBig

When Ryan Cochran-Siegle came home with his second Olympic medal in as many Olympic games and Ben Ogden earned two silver medals at Milan this winter, I knew I wanted to pick their brains. Better yet, Ian Boswell is friend and located nearby in Vermont, so we decided to have four pro athletes enjoy a conversation talking with each other, learning from another, learning about each others' sports, the history, the customs, the nuances.
