Episode 92 - Scott’s Back With Vengeance, Cape Epic Upset, and The DJ v Dizzle Saga Continues

What’s up party people. Happy Friday y’all and boy is it a good day to be alive. Scott’s back from his underground Euro campaign, which of course we get into right at the onset of the show. DJ and Dizzle also brought the inter-squad competition to the lab and wind tunnel this week so we get a little scoop on the latest drama there, and we also touch on some Cape Epic news that might have some heads turning before the start of the Life Time Grand Prix kickoff next month. All that and more coming in hot.

If you have any questions or feedback for the show you can drop us a note at [e-mail] or head over to the Bonk Bros insta and holla at your boys there (@bonkbros @dylanjawnson @adamsaban6 @tylerclouti @raddaddizzle @scottmcgilljr). Alright let’s get this thing started.

Takeaways

Collegiate road racing can be unpredictable, and even riders from lower categories can win races.

Choosing the right partner for Cape Epic is important, considering compatibility and skill level.

Sponsorships can lead to unexpected benefits, such as receiving free products.

Matteo Jorgensen's recent success in races like Perry Nice and Flanders is impressive.

When selecting gravel tires, it's important to consider a balance between rolling resistance and puncture resistance.

Training Peaks can be a useful tool for self-coaching, but working with a coach can provide more personalized guidance. Reviewing and following a structured training plan is important for consistent progress.

Considerations for race tune-up include the proximity of the race to the main event and the specific demands of the race.

Heart rate spikes during exercise may be a cause for concern and should be evaluated by a medical professional.

Bicarb and ketones are popular supplements in the endurance sports community, but their effectiveness and safety should be carefully considered.

Archery can be a fun and challenging sport to explore outside of cycling.
