Paceline Podcast 229

Talk

The only moments of feeling cold during Patria's #fatpursuit 60km ride on Friday came during the water boil test. Once the gel was lit, it was time to pack the snow around the wind screen and hope the wind didn't blow all of the heat away. That cup of hot chocolate was all she needed to keep going for another couple of hours before the next rest stop (and another cup of hot chocolate!)

Snow arrived in Boston and Patria finally got to participate in the Jay Petervary Fat Pursuit Challenge. She took part in the 60km length and reports that more than 80 percent of her riding was on snow. She reports on her experience as well as a few fresh insights she gleaned from her effort.

Patrick takes on a listener question about suspension systems and which ones he likes. He discusses a couple of systems and things to watch for when considering a bike.

The Paceline is hosted by Patrick Brady and Patria Vandermark.

Patria is the co-owner and manager of two Boston-area bike shops, Ride Studio and Ride Headquarters. The Colorado native raced at an elite level before chucking it all to go to the land of her forebears. She moved to Italy, learned the language and then began leading bike tours for American visitors. At CU Boulder she earned a degree in mechanical engineering; she says working on bikes is both more fulfilling and more fun.

Patrick is the publisher of The Cycling Independent.
