Summary
Yes, it’s the annual uphill cheeseroll competition (copyright Friebos). But just how far can we stretch the cheese analogies? What would win? A giant Camembert or 30 Mini Babybels? And what has New Year’s Eve in New York got to do with anything?
There’s serious tactical discussion and lots of nonsensical talk about sunglasses too. You wouldn’t expect anything else.
Sponsored by Laka
The Cycling Podcast’s coverage of the spring Classics is supported by Laka. Laka offers specialist bike insurance that goes further than you think. It’s powered by a collective of cyclists who all have each others’ backs. They won’t charge a fixed sum, instead, they calculate your monthly contributions – up to a maximum capped amount – based on the collective’s claims. There’s no excess so you won’t be penalised when it comes to making a claim. Laka is back as a proud sponsor of The Cycling Podcast. Listeners can get their first 30 days free by signing up with the code TCP30 at laka.co/tcp
