It isn't the way we wanted to end 2018, but unfortunately you can't always get what you want. (However, you can sometimes select a team for the Slow Ride Podcast Mt. Rushmore). This week (sadly, without LittleGuy) we, yet again, solved all of cycling's most pressing problems, namely M. Van der Poel. We also go through a slew of listener emails, tweets, and fashion statements. Oh, and we found out what The Gravel Lot is actually about. We are also supported by Grimpeur Bros. Specialty Coffee! Custom WAP roast “The Full Schleck” is available now, and “Cyclocross Friends” espresso will be soon as well! Proceeds from each sale directly support WAP and SRP! Check out grimpeurbros.com and pick up the Full Schleck. Find us, and other fantastic cycling podcasts on the Wide Angle Podium Network, at wideanglepodium.com! Check out the brand new WAP app available in the Apple and Android app stores! You can listen to us in a variety of ways: Find us on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere great podcasts are found. Give us a review and rating! We'd appreciate it!
