Speed Metal Cycling

A Colombian won the Tour de France. As promised, here's an episode. We didn't promise it would be good.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This is it, folks. Thanks for many years of fun!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We are finally back! SkullKrusher finally had his daughter and CD couldn't wait to make fun of him and tell him what a mistake that is. Meanwhile Klaus and Natalia make fun of both of them. We discuss the World Cup, of course, Formula 1, of course and CD reveals that he does not like fun. No wonder he likes cycling! We close with a little Tour de France and Giro Rosa chatter.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Natalia, CD and the Krusher discuss the upcoming World Cup and how SK can watch the game while still being a "good father" to his soon-to-be-born baby daughter. Sk also tells some story about some Slovakian dude on the phone who doesn't care much for Peter Sagan. They go on to talk about cycling...eventually. They wrap up the Giro, talk about the Dauphiné and touch on the Tour de Suisse. There's a little talk of the Tour de France, the Giro Rosa and the Ovo Energy Women's Tour. Bradley Wiggins comes up in conversation at some point. You've been warned.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Klaus is in the house. So are Natalia and the Krusher. After 20 minutes of 100% useless garbage talk we discuss the Tour de Romandie, the Festival Elsy Jacobs and, of course, the Giro d'Italia. Also mentioned in the episode are Lando Calrissian, random teenagers, Alejandro Valverde, some guy "in Colombian cycling", Jose Been, Egan Bernal, Danny Glover and Peter Sagan.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Natalia and the Krusher discuss how boring other cycling podcasts are, cute piglets, the Tro-Bro Léon, the men's and women's Amstel Gold races and how to pronounce Jolien D'Hoore's name in Dutch. They close the episode with plenty of nonsense, making literal translations of Colombian sayings and dumb jokes. The last few minutes are worth their weight on gold! Exactly.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It was a long night of editing this stupid episode, so no description. You know what we talked about, Paris-Roubaix, Miguel Indurain GP, Tour of the Basque Country, blah, blah, blah. Valverde.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Natalia and SkullKrusher dive right into cycling talk. Well, they first talk about Julio Iglesias, Jose Jose, Jose Luis Perales, Jose Luis Rodriguez "El Puma," and any other ridiculous singers from the 70s that our mothers and aunts thought were so handsome and sexy. Eventually the get to the Tour of Flanders, men's and women's, and the Scheldeprijs. Predictions for Paris-Roubaix will be made on our Instagram @SpeedMetalCycl  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A little bit of chatter about Italian drivers beating up Colombian pros, a little talk of names being changed by accident. Then, some Volta a Catalunya blah blah blah, a little bit of E3 Harelbeke and a little more about Gent - Wevelgem... We also mention the following names (in no particular order): Elia Viviani, Oliver Naesen, Katarzyna Niewiadoma, Alejandro Valverde, Wout Van Aert, Marcus Burghardt, Sep Vanmarcke, Mario Cipollini, Rupert Holmes,  Jolien D'Hoore, and many, many, many more.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We discuss Milano-Sanremo, the women's Trofeo Binda and a little bit of the  Volta a Catalunya. We tackle controversial topics such as racism, sexism, tiny Asians, mascara, packs of hyenas, the Dave Matthews Band and crocheted frogs. Just another typical, boring Speed Metal Cycling podcast. *sigh*  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Technology is a bitch. Natalia, CD and SkullKrusher recorded a full episode, but somehow only half survived. Hope you enjoy it. Follow us in Instagram and Twitter (@speedmetalcycl), join our Spring Classics fantasy league on Velogames (507582913) and keep your eyes peeled for our new kits. Pre-orders start soon.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The silly made-up Mickey Mouse racing is over. No more fake "Fourth Grand Tours," no more training races with teams in the 5th division, no more cute races in the dessert in front of 4 people. The real cycling season is finally here. We discuss the first few races and look forward to the Strade Bianche. The SkullKrusher is joined by Natalia and CD. We also discuss basketball, Kurtis Blow, Star Trek Wars, and the new Portland.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

As the title suggests this episode is basically 67 (or whatever) minutes of three Colombians talking about Colombia from a Colombian perspective. Nothing you haven't heard before, really. The new UCI 2.1 race, "Colombia 2.1 - Oro y Paz" gives us the perfect platform for ranting about how shitty the Colombian Federation is, how shitty the Colombian Federation is and how shitty the Colombian Federation is. As always, we hope you enjoy.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We are back, and we have a very special guest: Mike Spriggs! No joke, he's back for this episode to talk about the 2018 pro cycling kits. Also, the SkullKrusher shares some personal news. First some good news followed by some bad news. We talk about the weather and then Klaus tells us he's building a boat. Yeah, an actual boat. He's not kidding. Only Klaus would take a joke this far. He's actually building a boat 'cuz he thinks its hilarious. And it is. Anyway, this episode is all about the new kits... and Klaus' boat... and Jens Keukeleire's clavicle... and Klaus' boat... and Klaus' lightbulbs. And his boat. And maybe a little professional cycling thrown in. You know, for good measure.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We are back from a short hiatus to announce that we are going on a long hiatus. We make another bummer of an announcement and talk about sexism in Italy, racism, woodworking, ebikes and we read your emails. Coming soon: Speed Metal Baseball with your host Mike Spriggs and Speed Metal Hockey with your hostess Natalia S.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's been about 5 years since we played Cycling Jeopardy on the podcast. Last time our guest of honor, Maiko, moped the floor with Klaus and Mike and left a Lithuanian millionaire. This time around Natalia is the sole female and is here to represent women-folk and try to pick-up where Maiko left off. You know Mike is a silent killer, but will he even be able to find the buzzer? Klaus talks a big game. It's chance to prove he prowess and show what he's made of. Let's play Cycling Jeopardy!    See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Wonder why this episode is so short? The answer will become apparent within the first 5 minutes. We had absolutely nothing to talk about. Cycling related, that is, because we did have a few conversations about metal health, American literary classics, New Order and Queen selling out and, of course, Star Trek. If this is your first time listening, please allow me to apologize and promise you that it's not always this bad. Never good, but hardly ever this bad  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We talk about body odor, bar soap, career changes, gangs, juggalos and juggalettes, IRL friends, blue collar workers, Zwift training, therapy, masochism, and eventually get to cycling. We talk about how the UCI World Championships in Bergen left all of us a little deflated and disappointed. We wish it was a more interesting course, rather than the one-punchy-hill circuit again and again.  We also decide that cycling is and has been in the toilet. Oh, and we go around the room talking about our skin color. Because why not.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The whole gang is back together. And you know what that means. Klaus tells lots of stories of his trip to the Vuelta a España, Mike talks about his laundry, Natalia laughs a lot and SkullKrusher makes no sense and doesn't shut up. Topics include, electrical work, laundry services in New York City, Ivy League college exams, Alberto "El Pistolero" Contador, the World Championships and our picks. #cycling  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Another special episode. #sarcasm. The SkullKrusher goes off on Terpstra and his stupid Instagram comments about Team Manzana Postobon. WARNING, this is an explicit episode for sure! Meanwhile CD does the whole podcast on his Zwift machine thing dilly. Natalia tries to keep the podcast going, as usual. Good luck y'all.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
