The "Shirtless" Waples were AWOL, so time to enjoy the smooth synchronized sounds of the OG Three discussing the 24 Hours of Riverside, Giro up to Stage 16, and the ban on TT bikes.

What to do after the "big race"... how to take the renewed energy, tough weekend, or even tough reality and turn it into a positive.

The BIG event. The one you've trained for. The one you might kinda wish gets cancelled. You know...

Oh, sure, we are talking about the upcoming Ardennes classics, but what about the times when we mere mortals just aren't feeling like superstars. How do WE adjust to being mortal?

Roubaix redux, prepped for racing, and a deep dive into a personality test that everyone should take (and share with us, but not in a creepy way).

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

First off, welcome to our guest for this episode, Levi Leiphimer, of massive Grand Tour fame, as well as the founder of the biggest boost to the US cycling scene. Second, we talk up a little jaunt called Paris Roubaix...

Holy Week is here, the OG three are here to discuss, along with the challenges of not playing golf. Oh, we don't believe in April Fools. That's why we have Sam.

Since Paul wasn't here, we might as well talk about gravel, camping, and even disc brakes.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The struggle to define a race is real, as well as trying to figure out a way to beat Tadej. Oh, also, at the start, if you want to know what we were talking about, listen live...

Waples rub it in, Paul has a reason for the crash, Pat is bashed (again), and Jackson claims "homework"...

Wait! It isn't what you think!! Tonight the OG THREE talk about spring form, Strade Bianche, and how to plan a trip that doesn't rock the boat.

Part 2 of making races happen. This time, with Ryan Spivey of the Everett Performance Omnium, AKA the EPO, to gain insight of why bike racers need to gain perspective, as well as communicate. Also, did we mention that Omloop and Kuurne Brussel Kuurne are this weekend?!?

Bikes are expensive. Events are expensive. Did you not know this?!?

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Love is in the air, if you're into that kind of thing, and if you have had an after dinner coffee. Also, why so many bikes?!?!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Can four of The Packfiller actually put together a show that is, or even under, one hour?!? Challenge accepted.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Perhaps we will never know, although you probably have one you prefer. Tonight's cycling podcast is all about longevity, immersion, and training plans.

THE NEW CALENDARS ARE HERE! Oh, apparently Pat's is a bit off, but you get it. Time to plan, make promises, and hope for the best.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Such a deal. But I'm saving in the long run! Needs versus wants... you get the idea. What do you truly need to keep, and how to attempt to clean house. Oh, and bike racing for 2025.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What happened, what did we think about it, and what is going to happen? So much, so glad to be back! Here's to 2025!

Forgive the title, it just works. The OG three are in studio tonight talking up the only ways to make it through the winter, Later Lefevere, Tom's "Q" Test... and so much more.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Yep. It's that time of year. Not only for the "music", but also plenty of ways to deal with indoor training. Good luck.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tonight, we are thankful. Because our culture says so? Maybe. Because we can gain a few pounds/kilos in the off season? Probably.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dealing with the mental downs, depression, and anxiety of winter, life, and beyond. Wait... was that too deep?

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's election night in the US. We're going to just sit back and try to make things about silly cycling stuff again.

"I swear, this wan't my intent." - Pat

Tonight, apparently poo was on the brain, as well as...well, you know. Also when to go cheap, or not to skimp.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's real. And it's spectacular.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sometimes, the bike just isn't your friend. Oh, and a wild animal makes things worse.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sometimes, it isn't you, it's me. I think we should race on other teams...

Also, the greatest Tour finish since Lemond/Fignon.

Ever want to hang up the wheels? No, like, for good? Even worse... ever hang them up and try to come back? We've been there, and are here for you.

Tread very lightly. Bike riders don't think of themselves as dorks, geeks, or nerds. But they are.
