Episode 19 | Riding across New York. Epic in Alaska. Gold medalist Jennifer Valente. Just sayin'

In This Episode of the Rider-Up podcast, Dan and John riff on a summer of cool cycling, including a trip along the Erie Canal and a 50 miler in rainy Alaska resulting in the most epic ride of John's cycling career.  Also, Olympic Gold medalist Jennifer Valente makes an appearance as she describes the relationship between her trade team, Visit Virginia's Blue Ridge 2024, and the U.S. National Team.  Jennifer also shares how she preps for competition on race day.  It must work because she is now the most decorated U.S. cyclist ever.  Dan has a funky new shock from his #Specialized #Stumpjumper, and he says it's a game-changer. #valente #usacycling #cycletheeriecanal #bikealaska #crux #biking4boomers
