All right. Hello, everybody, and welcome to episode 33, the Pink Bike Podcast.

Today's topic is going to be a behind-the-scenes look of the Pink Bike Academy.

We've got Jason Lucas with us here.

He's one that was a huge part in getting that series off the ground.

And if you're not familiar, that's a reality TV show, the 10 episodes where contestants are

competing to win a $25,000 cash prize and a pro-contract. So a lot of stuff to talk about

there. But before we go too much further, I'm going to introduce everybody that's here today.

So we've got James

Smirthwaite. Hey James. Hey, Mike. How's again? Good. If you were on that Pink Bike Academy show,

which challenge you think would have taken you out? I think probably the fitness one. I think I

just would have flat out refused to do that FTP test. It didn't look like a good time. So I'll stick that stick with that one.

Yeah, FTP testing and VOT2 Mac stuff. That's pretty brutal, especially on a stationary bike.

So yeah, how about you, Sarah? I got Sarah Moore here.

I've done a fair number of FDP tests. And yeah, I would have been like Addison groaning ahead

of that one. But I think the one that would have been like Addison groaning ahead of that one but I think

the one that would have taken me out was that like orienturing challenge where they had to find the

point on the hill with the map and using the garment and trail forks and I feel like I probably would

have been like Julia with slightly longer legs but like traipsing all around the mountain under the

chairlift and stuff well everybody's like got the water bottle already. So yeah, I think that

orientering or, you know, directional sense, sense of direction is not my strong point necessarily.

Yeah. And then Jason, you got to witness a lot of this, but if you were a contestant instead

of a presenter on it, what do you think?
