| 0:00.0 | Well, goody guys. I'm Mitch Docker and welcome to the podcast. This is Life in the Peloton. |
| 0:26.6 | Great to have you back. It's been a couple of great months of cycling, hasn't it? |
| 0:31.1 | We've spoken about the Tour de France. I'm sure you saw it as well, but how good of the world's |
| 0:34.9 | been last week as well? Great, great racing. I'm almost like, as a fan of the sport, as you can hear, I love seeing this great racing and it's been fantastic to view all this. We're here back at Life of the Peloton now and I've got another great podcast for you. Of course, this year, we're being brought to you by our proud partners raffer. I've been enjoying working with them when I was a pro at |
| 0:54.9 | EF, but also after since I retired on the bike, but of course here at the podcast. The RCC, the Raffer |
| 1:01.7 | Cycling Club, that's what I want to speak to you about today. It's a really cool community I've |
| 1:06.0 | got to sort of find out about since I've retired. It's made up of chapters of clubhouses all around the world |
| 1:13.2 | because the Raffa Cycling Club is an active cycling community of members who share the love |
| 1:18.5 | of cycling and riding. It's really cool. It really is like that. You go to these clubhouses. There's |
| 1:23.7 | 23 of them around the world, well, chapters as well, and they organise weekly rides. They've got a whole lot of stuff coming out of there. They've got the RCC kit as well. That cool kid, I've got myself some, and I'm an RCC member, and you rock up, and you've got those signature stripes. I'm sure you've seen it, and you feel like united with the other members. It's a really cool idea and I'm glad |
| 1:45.1 | since retiring, I've got to experience that now as sort of a non-racer. Well, down to the episode |
| 1:51.6 | this week, we're chatting to Will Girling. Now, Will Gurling, he's the head nutritionist |
| 1:56.5 | at EF Easy Post's pro cycling team. He's been in the sport for about seven years, working at all |
| 2:02.9 | different levels of the sport. He started at a continental level, moved up to Pro Conti, and he's |
| 2:07.9 | been in the world tour. He's also worked with freelance riders as well, all on the nutrition side |
| 2:13.2 | of things. He was also a personal trainer himself, so he knows how to work hard, but his actual |
| 2:18.2 | education is sports and exercise nutrition. And in that post-grad diploma, he's got a master's degree, |
| 2:23.9 | and he's now completing his doctorate in it. He really is a wealth of knowledge, but the best |
| 2:28.9 | thing about Will is he loves riding, bike packing, all around Spain and the UK. He's done |
| 2:33.7 | heaps of trips. |
| 2:34.7 | So that's what makes him the best too, because he's got the knowledge, but he puts it in play |
| 2:39.5 | because he knows how to go out there and suffer and try, preach what he's telling everyone, |
