0:29.5	I'm sitting here with the cycling podcast host Lionel Bernie, and we're about to get cracking
0:35.8	into another great episode this week. Welcome
0:38.5	Lionel. Hello Mitch. How are you doing? I'm doing well actually on this side. We're in day 22 of
0:44.6	lockdown. So just sort of getting my groove and getting a lot of things done and pumping out some good
0:51.1	sessions on the old indoor trainer these days. That's for sure. 22 days. I mean that's a grand tour of lockdown so far. And I'm pumping out some good, good sessions on the old indoor trainer these days, that's for sure.
0:54.7	22 days. I mean, that's a grand tour of lockdown so far. And I'm coming through strong.

1:45.0	achieve too much. But since then, I've sort of been having some fun with it. I've been doing some
1:49.5	structured sessions. I've been doing some races, getting my ass absolutely kicked in these races.
1:54.9	I can't tell you how hard they are. And then I've also been doing a few just cruisy,

2:01.5	You can call them the Mitch Docker meetups and you can just invite like a select 50 people to come and just cruise around and chew some fat and, you know, do some efforts.
