If you're talking to me on Skype, assume you are being recorded. NFTOS is the Watergate of podcasts and I am Richard M. Nixon. Of course, I give paticipants the option to opt out in part or in whole. In this episode, Hans and I talked about some non-racing stuff, including a few things I assumed he wouldn't want to share which got censored. The next episode has already been recorded and will be uploaded late, better than never. Photo: Rob running down Mt Fuji in late summer, over the fine lava of the "Suna-bashiri" / Gotemba Track.

We're already well into the Vuelta, but with Hans moving a time zone earlier and me going on vacation, well, circumstances have not allowed for us to combine for a show. This one was an ill-prepared now or never kinda thing. Here it is for what it's worth. Photo by Andrew. Posted by Rob. Tags: NFTOS, Bicicleteiros, Vuelta a España, Worlds |

Bicicleteiros podcast #83, Tour de France podcast #2, recapping stage 9.

(Bicicleteiros podcast #82) This is our Tour de France overview, plus color commentary of the Prologue & Stage 1. Hans and Rob discuss their picks for the overall (yellow jersey), best sprinter (green jersey), best climber (polka-dot jersey) and best under-25 (white jersey). We also discuss strategies for playing Versus.com Fantasy Cycling and RouleurDerby.com. Amazingly, no doping is discussed! (The odd wisecrack doesn't count as 'discussion'.)

What hath God wrought? Despite recent advances in technology, we are very, very late with this one. We were well over our storage limit around the time the new podcast hosting service developed by Libsyn went into effect.Photo: An old Ford pick-up I spotted while cycling along the Tama River in western Tokyo.

Learn Italian with Hans & Rob! We don't actually speak Italian, but the Dutch stages of the Giro have taught us a few new words, like caduta and dolorante.How about some Russian (or maybe Kazakh)? And I quote: "Vino - super! Весь Казахстан верит в тебя и гордится тобой! Ты остаешься примером мужественности и силы духа, за это тебя и любят многомиллионные твои поклонники! Удачи и побед!" -reader comment, VeloNews In the first half of the podcast we cover the first 3 stages of the Giro, preview the TTT stage, then halfheartedly attempt to recap the Tour of the Gila, and finally, we totally #fail to recap the Tour of Romandy. It's Grand Tour time! Who cares about those training rides now?! Photo: Makiko & Okha on rental bikes along the Han River in Seoul, May 2010. Posted by Rob.

This podcast is being uploaded with the fancy new Libsyn 3. You probably won't notice anything different, but there will be all kinds of surprises coming up soon, including an iPhone app so you don't have to bother downloading to your computer. That is, if I can sort it all out.Show notes: Hans and Rob recorded this podcast just before Rob left for Korea. There were some issues with our Libsyn.com subscription, so the podcast wasn't uploaded until after the Korea trip (now). Sorry about that! In this podcast we covered various topics including all the major races since the Paris-Roubaix, up until the time of recording, which including previews of the Tour of Romandy and the Tour of the Gila, which were in progress, or just about to begin.
