The Single Speed Cyclocross World Championships, SSCXWC, brings together the greatest well-rounded riders in the world to test their mettle through Feats of Strength and the most demanding cyclocross the host town can find to dish out. In the words of Sarah Sturm from 2022 in Durango:
"Single Speed Cyclocross World Champs is the not-so-underground, fringe, party event that calls itself a World Champs and, in many ways, it is. But instead of (doing drugs) (marginal gains) that make you faster, you do things that make you slower like keg stands, whiskey shots, and hot dog hand-ups."
The 2024 edition was hosted in Madison, Wisconsin and an old friend of mine, now living in Missoula, Montana, made the 24+ hour drive to go for the gold! (or tattoo!). Brian West has been chasing the tattoo for several years, and finally found himself at the front at the right time - the end of the race. This is his story!

Erik Schlimmer is no stranger to long, difficult days either on foot or on the bike. As a mountain biker, he raced at the top level in the early 1990's, then turned to long distance bike packing adventures, but not just his love of long distance hiking got in the way of his cycling - so did life and some time served in the military. He found himself going years and years without riding. Until recently, that is. In 2023 he took a tragic event in his life and turned it into a reason to embrace life - and hopped back on the bike again. Just over a year since that event, he's now doubled down on his focus and decided to pin a number on again and give racing a try. His is a compelling story of triumph, tragedy and triumph again! And while he has carved out time for his newfound joy, he also took his passion for hiking and history in the Adirondacks and has authored nine books about the area, it's trails and history. You can find them all at www.erikschlimmer.com as well as follow his current adventures and mountain bike training on instagram at @schlimmer_goes

In an era that is becoming increasingly friendly to online ordering for bikes and bike parts, and increasingly hostile to brick and mortar retail stores, Clint Mongan has carved out a niche, selling high end full suspension mountain bikes to an ever growing list of clients out of a small, remote shop in an unassuming little town in south-central Iowa. He's also the owner and manager of Boone Factory Racing, supporting some of the top junior downhill racers in the country - if not world - including Kallie Stewart, winner of the 2024 Monster Downhill Race Series. You can connect with Clint at www.boonecycles.net or on Instagram and Facebook at Boone Factory Racing.

Jenna Rinehart, a Midwest mountain biking icon, a competitor in the Lifetime Grand Prix (get to know her in Episode 141!) just returned from racing in Belgium at the UCI Gravel World Championships and was kind enough to stay up late (past 7 pm #jetlag) and download her European Vacation and what it was like racing in the third ever UCI Gravel World Championships.
Jenna and her husband, Justin, own and operate Nicolette Bike and Ski, a shop in downtown Mankato, Minnesota. Jenna races on a Specialized Crux on gravel and an Epic on dirt, fills her tires with Orange Seal sealant and rides for the Mazda Orange Seal Off Road team.

"Pay Nothing. Give Everything" is the moto of the Limestone 77.7 State of Iowa Single Speed Gravel Championship Race held on Oct. 5 of 2024. The race is promoted by CK (Chris Kyle) and is almost as grass roots as you get - except for the details - CK and friends cover the cost of the event - numbers, insurance, food and water at the aid stops and prizes- and as such, he charges zero to enter. Two courses are offered - a 37.5-mile fun ride (no scoring) and the championship 77.7-mile distance. At a moment of weakness I signed up for the championship event, and spent the summer training for it (a very hilly, long gravel race on a singlespeed bike) on my light, snappy, quick road bike on mostly 35- to 50-mile spirited group rides. If all this sounds like a recipe for success, tune in to find out! In my nervousness, I decided to bring my portable microphone along and record the day as it went along - and this is the result. A note on music - Mt. Joy's Jesus Drives an Astrovan played me into the event and stuck in my head throughout the day - so it was only proper to send you out of this episode with their 2021 version recorded live at Red Rocks - I hope you enjoy and subscribe to all their stuff on Spotify and Apple etc. then go see em in concert.

Enticed by the mountain bike trails she could see underneath her skis as she ascended the lift at her local ski area, Jenna Rinehart went from carving turns on on snow to carving turns on dirt. In her early mountain biking career, she often stood atop the podium at what is now one of the oldest mountain bike races in the country: the Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival, as well as many other midwest mountain bike races. In 2011 she and her husband bought the Mankato, Minnesota bike shop they worked at and went from starting lines to repair stands and the showroom floor. Nearly a dozen years later Jenna found the time to jump in some local races and ultimately found herself on the starting line of Chequamegon. Her previous form had never left and she did well enough to earn a spot in the Lifetime Grand Prix. After an impressive sixth place overall in 2023, she is working hard for another top-ten finish in 2024. We talked as she has two Lifetime GP races remaining, plus the UCI Gravel World Championships in Belgium. Jenna races on a Specialized Crux on gravel and an Epic on dirt, fills her tires with Orange Seal sealant and rides for the Mazda Orange Seal Off Road team.

This week we’re going back to Gravel Worlds - and not to hear race highlights or the story of a big victory by gravel national champ Lauren Stephens or norwegian Simon Svendsen - this isn’t even a story about the marquee 150-mile race - but this week we’re talking with a couple of guys who did the Privateer 75-miler - and did they win? Nope - 19th and 20th overall - But this IS a story of friendship, of hard work and overcoming adversity - it’s also a story about how cool our sport is - and how cycling can help nurture unique relationships. Today we’re talking with Ted Longnecker and Jackson Webster - a couple of guys who’ve become friends thanks to the sport of cycling - and we’re talking about their trip to Lincoln Nebraska to race the gravel seas at the 2024 Garmin Gravel Worlds. https://www.gravel-worlds.com/

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!!).

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. Bikeiowa.com is your spot for all local and regional rides and events throughout the entire year, as well as important news and information!

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.
