Dialed Cycling PodcastAuthor: Jake, Matt, Ian, & Lance
We cover all things cycling, training, fitness, nutrition, racing, and sports tech through our countless years of cycling. In short, we have seen some stuff, so we draw off our experiences as masters cyclists who have been training and racing for the better part of our adult lives. Our typical podcasts include a weekly recap of our training and racing (The Backpedal), recent cycling news (The Leadout), and a new topic for each week.

Episode 384
Saturday, 6 June, 2026
Send us a message!The guys are back after a month off, and they came loaded. Lance breaks down nine races in four weeks, including a Belgian Waffle Ride California podium that put him in the running for the series. Ian returns from five hard days riding in Mallorca, and the racing talk only heats up from there.The big one: Unbound. Keegan Swenson handed his rear wheel to a teammate and rebuilt a freehub in the gravel to save his race, while the Specialized squad swept the podium. That leads into the question hanging over the sport. Is bike racing actually dying? Promoter fees, calendar fatigue, and shrinking fields paint a tough picture, but there is a path forward. Plus a SRAM surprise that left Jake speechless, the science behind leg cramps, the rise of gravel team tactics, and whether 32-inch wheels are the future or a fad nobody asked for.Grab a coffee and settle in. This one runs long, and it earns it.Support the show
