Cycling Together with Kristin & Steve

25. CX, D2R2 & Cycling with Sophie

Kristin & Steve Brandt

For our 25th episode we welcome our college age daughter, Sophie, to the show! A listener comment about cyclocross has reminiscing about our racing days, and learning how to embrace the very embarrassing situations that can happen during a race. 

Having just participated in the 20th anniversary Deerfield Dirt-Road Randonnee to benefit Franklin Land Trust, we discuss "letting" her ride solo, and her transition from "riding because my parents ride" to "person who rides a bike." We share our individual experiences, as well as what we thought of this New England cycling tradition, if it was "worth" the expense and if we'd do it again.

Steve also answers Sophie's questions about her bicycle, addresses what things she "needs" to know about her bike and talk about "internet" opinions.
