Lance just returned from five weeks in Arizona: racing, riding Mount Lemmon, getting pulled from a crit (it happens), surviving a skate park shortcut at the start of a gravel race, and somehow dragging Ian down with him. Ian bounced back from a nasty chest infection to race his first event in a while - and won his age group. Jake has been clocking ridiculous hours of work since the last episode, visiting college campuses with his son, and watching the new Dialed Cycling Lab inch closer to completion (studio space included). And Matt? Matt's been swimming. A lot.

**In this podcast:**
