You are listening to the cycling podcast. Hello and joining you on the 20th of February that is four days before those blessed

24 hours when we're given rest by it from arguably the most tedious

social media meme in cycling because it will in fact be zero days until on loop.

My name's Daniel Freib but and I'm the host of this

episode of the cycling podcast in which we will try not to get irrationally

wound up about such minor online annoyances and instead serenely look back on the last seven days in

professional cycling with another eye on what's to come. Rob Hatch, you're a

sport commentator and very regular guest in these parts. It'll soon be happy

omelet day and at a pet hate of mine Rob I'm feeling very kantankerous I've been

very wound up this week I don't know what it is why am I so kantankerous?

You wound up never I'm'm not having that. That doesn't happen to you.

Rob, we're going to, well, I tell you what, we'll welcome our second guest co-host and then we will each talk about or you two can tell me if there's any internet

cycling memes that wind you up. So also joining us this week after he successfully avoided the life ban I threatened him with if you mentioned

track cycling last week it is young still young I think forever young Richard

Abraham good morning Daniel is that still hanging over me as a constant sort of the T word in the background for the rest of

Track cycling yes, that is an inviolable is that a word and policy on the cycling podcast okay I'm just constantly on probation

now for forever yes and cyclicross as well you're not allowed to mention cyclicross

until I would like to say

well next January but probably around November grudgingly have to bring it up again

and chaps internet is internet means that bug you irrationally and this is no this is no slight on

people and who have post these memes in the past it's just the the zero days until

I see it as slightly disrespectful to the rest of the calendar
