Host Tom Butler shares audio from a rigorous 100-mile bike ride, a critical test before the formidable 206-mile Seattle to Portland (STP) ride looming just around the corner. Together with Jesse, a new cyclist also gearing up for the STP, they document the challenge of his first century ride.

Next, Tom engages in a discussion with Garren, the podcast's official engineer and our trusted source for understanding bike technology. Garren provides insight into his major bike upgrade and discusses what this means for his cycling pursuits now and in the future.

Join us to continue pedaling along with the 'Cycling Over Sixty' training effort as we prepare for the upcoming STP challenge.
