| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the podcast dedicated to making you a faster cyclist ask a cycling coach podcast. I'm |
| 0:04.9 | trainer road and Bentham bikes. I have y'all drain. We have head coach Chad Timberman. Hi. |
| 0:10.4 | Hi and coach John the week. Hi. Hi. We're here. We're stoked. We are going to talk maximum |
| 0:19.0 | effort training, have some hot takes and more fun stuff. John has some information about a special |
| 0:25.5 | podcast episode coming up. Cape Epic. It's cheesy kicks off this weekend. Chad, are you excited |
| 0:31.1 | to watch? I'm excited. Killer coverage man. Always so cool. We've got some interesting stuff going |
| 0:37.0 | on over there too, which I have feeling you're going to cover. Yeah. So we have, I have recorded a special |
| 0:42.4 | podcast episode yesterday morning with three of our employees that are doing the race. They're from |
| 0:47.1 | South Africa. They're way faster. They're well, maybe not faster than Ivy. I don't know, Ivy's |

| 1:31.3 | through Cape Epic. In addition to obviously all the other athletes that are racing it, it's going |
| 1:34.9 | to be super cool. They're going for the African Jersey. And what that means is that if a team |
| 1:40.5 | is composed of both athletes because Cape Epic is done as a team, that's one of the unique parts |
| 1:45.2 | about it. And if both athletes are from Africa, the highest placing men's and women's teams |
| 1:50.8 | get the African Jersey, which is really cool. And it's big, sought after thing from the athletes. |
