The Stable Cyclist

• JONATHAN LEE ON IDENTITY, FAITH, AND FINDING HIMSELF BEYOND THE BIKE | The Stable Cyclist Podcast

  This week, JP welcomes Jonathan Lee, the widely recognized host of the TrainerRoad Podcast and a beloved voice in the cycling world. JP and Jonathan share a powerful full-circle moment — back in 2021, Jonathan interviewed JP on the Successful Athletes Podcast about living with Bipolar Disorder and rebuilding life through low-volume training. That conversation became a genesis point for JP, planting the seed that eventually grew into The Stable Cyclist Podcast. Now, Jonathan steps into the guest seat to reflect on his own path to TrainerRoad and how solving problems — for athletes, coworkers, and himself — has guided his career. The conversation goes far beyond watts and workouts. JP and Jonathan dive into Jonathan’s life outside the studio: his work within his church community, managing training alongside a demanding life, and the deeper question of where identity is truly found. This is one of the most honest, grounded conversations you’ll hear — a look at the human behind one of cycling’s most recognizable podcast voices, exploring purpose, balance, vulnerability, and faith in a world that often values performance above everything else.

• BRETT ROTHMEYER ON PHOTOGRAPHING KEEGAN SWENSON AND THE HTSQD | The Stable Cyclist Podcast

  This week, JP sits down with Brett Rothmeyer, the creative eye behind the photos of Keegan Swenson and the Santa Cruz htSQD. As part of JP’s ongoing “Creators in Cycling” series, Brett shares his long journey into the world of professional photography — from discovering his voice behind the lens to capturing some of cycling’s most defining moments. They dig into what it takes to shoot massive events like Unbound, Gravel Worlds, and Leadville, the intense travel schedule that comes with the territory, and the balance between art, exhaustion, and passion. Brett also recounts his front-row experience at the UCI Marathon MTB World Championships, where Keegan Swenson claimed the top step and Brett was there to document the moment that defined a season. This episode gives an intimate look at the often unseen creative grind that shapes the stories, images, and emotions of the sport we love.

• KAIT BOYLE | RESILIENCE, RECOVERY AND MAKING HISTORY AT MARJI GESICK | The Stable Cyclist Podcast

  This week’s guest is Kait Boyle, one of the most respected names in ultra-endurance mountain biking. Kait’s journey is one of transformation — from her early days in outdoor education to becoming a professional MTB racer and 24-Hour World Champion. She shares what drew her to the world of endurance riding, how it shaped her view on challenge and growth, and what it means to live a life defined by resilience. We then dive into the car accident that nearly ended her racing career — a moment that forced her to rebuild physically, mentally, and emotionally. Kait reflects on how that experience reshaped her understanding of purpose and community. Finally, we explore her incredible performance at the 2025 Marji Gesick, where she became the first of three women ever to finish under 12 hours, earning the coveted belt buckle alongside Syd Schultz, Kristy McBride, and Julie Momber. Together, they made history — and Kait takes us inside the teamwork, grit, and mindset that made it possible.

• ALEXIS CARTIER | BIKEPACKING THE ENTIRE LIFETIME GRAND PRIX | The Stable Cyclist Podcast

  This week on The Stable Cyclist Podcast, JP welcomes Alexis Cartier, the Canadian gravel racer redefining what it means to commit to a cause. A professional rider from Montreal and passionate advocate for climate action, Alexis has made headlines this year by choosing to ride his bike to every race in the LifeTime Grand Prix, rather than flying or driving. Now over 10,000 miles into this journey, he joins JP to reflect on the lessons, the challenges, and the incredible experiences from a summer spent fully powered by pedals. With the final race of the season — Big Sugar Gravel — on the horizon and a 2,000-mile ride home still ahead, Alexis opens up about how this mission has reshaped his outlook on the sport and the environment. Together, JP and Alexis explore the intersection of cycling, sustainability, and storytelling, reminding listeners that real change starts with the choices we make every day.
