We talk to Matthew Butt, head mechanic at Lee Valley Velopark about his experience with the Kenyan cycling and para-cycling teams at the UCI World Championships in Glasgow.

As many of us look to cross-training in the coming winter months, Mat(t) and Wei take a quick dive into the murky world of running, biomechanics and carbon fibre super shoes... oh and they're still in the car and the fuel light has come on... will they make it to lunch with Tony?

Wei and Matt speak candidly to ex-pro triathlete Colin Norris of APB Works about triathlon as a job, his humble beginnings as a grime MC in South London and his time with Olive the bulldog. Colin is a font of triathlon knowledge because he made all the mistakes, but you don't have to! Listen in for the usual laughs, nuggets of wisdom and how do you actually become a pro-triathlete. Enjoy! Find Colin at: www.APBWorks.com Instagram: @APBcoachingworks

Ahead of the upcoming women's Triathlon World Championships in Kona this weekend, Mat decides to get a few thoughts off his chest about the state of triathlon today. Can we take the lessons learned from the men's World Championships in Nice and apply it to our own riding and racing? And who's racing a triathlon with a dropper post?

Wei and Matt fail to restrain master bike fitter, Tony Corke, from unleashing his knowledge and fears about the future of the custom bicycle industry. Settle in for a lively conversation with Tony and Jon Wild (Pedalling Perfection) as four bike fitters try to reconcile the difficulties of how to actually make a really good custom bike. If you've got a custom bike... this might be a bit scary...
