The core4 is an August race where no surface is left untouched - beautiful crushed stone roads (known to most of us as 'gravel'!), grassy farm access lanes, dirty level-B roads, lovely singletrack (and challenging singletrack!), limestone paths and even some much appreciated pavement to give your body a rest! And let's not leave out the cyclocross finish! Starting and finishing at the Wilson's Orchard north of Iowa City, Iowa, core4 enters it's third year, this time with some cash for the fast folks in the challenging Stone Crusher 100-miler. It's reputation as a great event, and maybe the cash purse, brought in a new level of pros: Chase Wark, Inno Zavyalov, Drew Dillman, Gabby Arnold as well as past champions like Nate Kullbom, Vanessa Curtis, Chris Hansen and more! I was there to enjoy a weekend of camping with friends, riding the lovely, yet challenging 60-mile route and talk to some of those trouncing the 100-miler. Thanks to Alex, Nate and the entire core4 crew for inviting me along - the whole experience was top notch - from packet pickup at the beautiful Big Grove Brewery in Iowa City, camping at Wilson's Orchard, the coffee and doughnuts in the morning, a creative, fun and interesting route, well stocked aid stations (which I should have stopped at at least once! #ranoutofwater), plus post-race brews, music, food and fun! I loved it all and will be back. Put it on your schedule for August 16, 2025 - and maybe we'll offer a Bike Talk with Dave discount again! (Listen next Spring and Summer!!). Head on over to www.core4.bike for details!

Patrick Coughlin and his wife Gabrielle started Team Cow on RAGBRAI more than 20 years ago, with a white bus adorned with black spots and a horn that moo's - and all the obvious puns that go along with it. After a wonder week of RAGBRAI in 2024, disaster struck the bus on it's drive back to central Iowa from the Mississippi River. Was that to be the final year of Team Cow or would the bus live on? We joined Patrick at his office in Des Moines to find out how Team Cow began, swap some RAGBRAI stories and finally learn what happened to the bus- as well as it's fate and the future of Team Cow. A Go Fund Me page has been set up for repairs to the bus. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-save-our-beloved-cow-bus

Started as a 200-mile ride from West Des Moines to Arnolds Park at Lake Okoboji, Iowa more than a dozen years ago, Break the Cycle is now a series of cycling events, run relays, and other endurance events across the US, UK and Norway, which raise funds for Hope for Justice to transform lives in the fight against human trafficking.
The flagship event continues to be the Break the Cycle 200, where we ride 200 miles together in a single day with one purpose: to end human trafficking and modern-day slavery. Bike Talk with Dave rode along in one of the support vehicles (with the legendary Lang Wightman) and broke out Mr. Microphone at rest stops along the way to talk with riders (and the Mayor of the final pass-through town on the route) to ask why they're riding and just how the day was going! My co-host Dee has done it for 10 years, so she had to help open the show!

Chris Lillig was an Iowa City cyclist who was killed by a drunk driver in 1996, but continues to be a positive influence on cycling in the Midwest today. River Products Company, a stone company where he worked, has supported the biggest races in Iowa (and the world!) for the past 23 years, first the Old Capital Criterium then the Friday Night Races at Jingle Cross and now at the Stone Crusher 100=mile race at the 2024 core4 - a race which covers all surfaces, from pavement to crushed stone to singletrack. Having never met Chris myself, I was curious who he was and why his name continues to be a major part of some of the biggest events in the area. Enter Greg Duethman and Ken Lefler, two long-time cyclists and good friends of Chris. They recount what made Chris such a special human and strong cyclist. They then help us understand why it's important to Chris' family and friends to keep his memory alive and support bike racing to this day, nearly thirty years after his death.

What can you say about JP? Beyond his cycling accolades, which are many, words like kind, friendly, thoughtful and generous sit right next to competitive, driven, adventurous, curious and... maybe a little crazy! His first go on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route was on a tandem with his wife of many adventures; Tracey. After more than 25 years of racing, including a dozen times up the Iditarod Trail, seven times down the spine of the Rockies on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, winning the first Silk Road Mountain Bike Race, he now gives back through the industry of Jay Petervary! Consulting, coaching, weekend courses on bikepacking and winter camping, and hosts both a winter fatbike race in Fat Pursuit and now a community-centered gravel race and ride in his hometown of Victor Idaho; the Teton Valley Backyard Rally on July 6, 2024. Filled with millions of stories from his endless miles of travel by bicycle, JP was kind enough to carve out some time to share some of them with us.

Danielle Ravnikar had an unlikely road to professional cycling, finding her way through dance to the starting line of the Elite Woman's race at the 2024 Unbound. Would her time on the sidelines of the Minnesota Vikings as an NFL Cheerleader be enough to get her to the finish line of her first 200-mile gravel race? Only time would tell. Danielle Ravnikar is a member of the Mazda Orange Seal cycling team and was kind enough to spend some time on a call to talk about her journey to the starting line in Emporia, Kansas, and then her struggles to the finish line. Follow Danielle on instagram at https://www.instagram.com/danielle_ravnikar/ and her Mazda Orange Seal team at https://www.instagram.com/mazdaorangeseal/

Recently, Cade popped into my life for a minute, thanks to a friend having a birthday party and Matt Zimmer bringing his teammate to said party on an e-bike. "It was a rest day,,," Cade is one of many weapons on the formidable Project Echelon Cycling Team and at a recent weekend of racing along the Mississippi River, Cade took 3/4 wins, throwing down 1700+ watts in the process. It was a good time to have the multi-time national champion on. Follow Cade on instagram, facebook by searching for his handle: cbikemore. https://www.instagram.com/cbikemore/

I thought I'd send out Bike Month by joining some friends on a 100-mile singlespeed cruiser ride (full disclosure: I couldn't spend the whole day riding, so I joined in for a pile of miles in the morning!). In the spirit of Bike Month, I brought along Mr. Microphone and asked people what cycling has give them, but the episode begins with the swearing in of the Nut Checking Crew - vital to the success of this ride. We close out the show with an impromptu recording of a good cycling friend's daughter, Lauren Igou, who was playing at Captain Roy's, the final trailside bar of the 100-mile ride. I hope you enjoy my conversations with cyclists from around the Midwest on what cycling as brought to their lives (and we ask about their bikes too!).
Bikeiowa.com sponsors the event as well as publishes all the events of Bike Month.

Several months ago I got an email from a guy in Lacross Wisconsin - James Longhurst. He asked if I’d like to read his book on the history of bicycles sharing the American road. It's called Bike Battles. Recently, he was kind enough to carve out some time during finals week at UW-LaCross, to discuss his book Bike Battles: A History of Sharing The American Road.
Thanks to James for sharing his book with us today - I really enjoyed it - and I also really enjoyed diving deeper into it with James - and I would encourage you to as well! It’s available at the University of Washington Press at www.washington.edu/uspress If you have any interest in the history of the bike in America - this is a great book! And also remember if you want to discover some incredible gravel riding in the driftless region, which includes southwest Wisconsin around LaCrosse, as well as parts of Minnesota and Iowa, just go to driftlesscycling.com.

While we should be celebrating moms 365.25 days per year, we do have one day we set aside to really recognize how awesome moms are. And cycling moms - they're like regular moms, only better! So what better than to, not only invite some awesome cyclists who are also awesome moms, but also invite another awesome mom cyclist and journalist to lead the discussion? What we've got here is gravel pro Marisa Boaz, ultra cyclist Deanne Herr and my own partner in this game of life, Dee Mable all together with the interview being led by a talented cyclist, mom and local news anchor (She's a pretty big deal) Lisa Carponelli. It was an honor to be in the room with the four of them! I really just tried to shut up and listen (but they did pull me into the conversation now and again!). I'd also like to thank Velorosa Women's Cycling Clothing for offering a quiet place for us to meet. Check out the full line of beautiful women's cycling clothing at www.velorosacycling.com

Matt Zimmer, Project Echelon rider for a good many years and I wanted to get his opinion on the state of road racing in the U.S. We met for a beer on the patio of a lovely local brewery: (Either Or - It's actually a restaurant and nice bar - but it's owned by the people who own a local brewery: Lua - so I call it a brewery... I guess it's Either a restaurant Or a brewery.... the name says it all). Anyway - Matt and I had a great conversation about bikes - we hope you enjoy!

In it's 15 years, the Garmin Gravel Worlds has become one of the biggest gravel events on the U.S. calendar. Boasting a heritage of champions that range from Trans-Iowa alumni to World Tour cyclists - and all without huge prize purses - until now. Recently, a $30,000 prize purse was announced for the elite mens and women's races - but along with that, they will also be donating another $30,000 to charities AND have welcomed Hannah Shell into the Gravel Family in an initiative to celebrate the back of the pack, as much as the front in their new F2L (First to Last) program. I invited Jason on, not only to talk about their exciting news, but also the continuing evolution of the sport of gravel cycling.
We'd encourage you to register early for Gravel Worlds - and when you do, you can get 10% off your registration fee by using the code: biketalkwithdave at checkout. And when you do Bike Talk with Dave will ALSO donate 10% of your fee to the 80-35 BMX/Iowa Bicycle Coalition effort to build an indoor Olympic-quality BMX track in Central Iowa.

If you’ve been tuning in through this past winter, you have likely heard of my big scary adventure coming up next winter - what will be my first fat bike winter ultra at the Arrowhead 135 - a 135-mile adventure through the remote wilderness of northern Minnesota in late January - it starts in International Falls and is known for it’s bitter cold temperatures and deep snow - and while it’s not always cold and snowy, as in this past edition (tune in to our conversation with Cate Coward in episode 114!) - but I will say - you’d better be prepared for both! One of the reasons this race is scary for me, is that I’m no fat biker - I don’t yet own one, nor have I really spent any time on one - and though it’s spring and every week is getting warmer and warmer as we head into summer - it’s high time I start thinking about what I’m going to ride next winter! So I dialed up my mentor, Steve McGuire - and who better to talk fat bikes? Steve is not only a veteran of many winter ultras including the Arrowhead 135, Actif Epica, Tuscobia 160 and the Iditarod Trail Invitational - not only all of that - but he also leads the Design, build ride program at the University of Iowa - a cool class for both engineering and art students to who do just that - design, build then ride their own hand crafted steed. So Steve’s not only been riding fat bikes for years and years - but has also been playing with the design - so if you’re interested at all in your own winter fat biking, bike design or... well... Iowa Women’s Basketball - then I hope you enjoy this conversation with Steve McGuire!

Since starting this podcast more than two years ago, I’ve wanted to talk to a team that had completed the Cape Epic together - Well, a couple months ago I saw that good friend of the podcast Hannah Shell was headed to South Africa with a friend of hers Starla Teddergreen - so I immediately shot her a note asking if the two of them would come on when they got home from the other side of the world and she enthusiastically agreed! Fast forward to April and the three of us found a time to hop on a call together to talk about their experience in the 8-stage mountain bike race. Which is awesome - but even more awesome was getting to know Starla - which leads me to the very buried lead - Starla, who’s raced professionally for nearly two decades - was recently diagnosed with MS - yet overcame the challenges of what can be a debilitating disease - to race in one of the hardest events on earth - she’s quite an amazing role model for women - really all of us - who face difficult challenges and roll on in spite of them - and finding creative ways to overcome the extra challenges they may present - Really - it was a treat to talk Cape Epic with Hannah and Starla - but I also really hope you enjoy getting to know Starla and all that she’s doing to encourage women around the world to get active and stay active!
I really appreciate both Hannah and Starla for making the time to come on this week - I hope you enjoyed their stories and friendship! I’d encourage all of you to follow them on socials - as well as Starla’s organization Distance to Empty! I’ll put links in the show notes! And I did look to see when I had Hannah on - it was October 2021, episode 41, when we talked about the state of gravel racing and the first ever UCI Gravel World Championships - plus she and her husband Jake were on last summer to talk about the Gravel Camp they led in Lincoln Nebraska prior to the Garmin Gravel Worlds - that was episode 66 - You should definitely download and enjoy them both!

Josh Sprague is as much an addict to endurance sports as the rest of us, and you know as well as anyone when a piece of equipment just isn't quite right. With weekends filled with adventure races, ultra marathons and long mountain bike rides, Josh just couldn't find the right hydration pack, so he built one. He liked it so much, he and his wife made the decision to dive in and founded Orange Mud and started producing what they believe to be the best, most comfortable hydrations packs on the market! Twelve years later they continue to create and produce a variety of hydration packs as well as a growing line of products for endurance athletes. Follow Orange Mud on Facebook and Instagram or dive into all the products at www.orangemud.com

As a full-time working couple with kids, a house and everything that comes with that, it's a challenge to pick and choose what events to attend throughout the year - but this one comes easy. It's not just a gravel race, it's a weekend long festival of camping, food, music, beers, bike rides and great West Texas hospitality! (and a few snakes) This was our second year (Dee and Dave's) at the Rattlesnake Gravel Grind and of course, Mr. Microphone came with us. After the race we talked with race winners Joe Laverick and Lauren Stephens, second place Chris Mehlman as well as last year's champion Justin McQuerry and first timer Inno Zavyalov. Dee got in the action with Mr. Microphone and talked with second year racer, 13-year-old Bennett Rogers and Ryan Mable who finished his first over-100K gravel race! And we couldn't leave without sharing some of the rich music played throughout the weekend!
Be sure and dive into the weekend of fun by heading to www.rattlesnakegravelgrind.bike and follow the ramblings from inside the cycling world by a guy inside the cycling world: Joe Laverick https://www.joelaverick.com/
