John and Dan interview Olympic medalist and cycling coach Shelley Olds.  Shelley raced in the 2012 Olympics and had a solid chance at a medal.  She shares the tragic story of that day, her significant issues, and her recovery from serious head injuries due to crashes.  Shelley graduated from Roanoke College in Salem, Va., where she was a stand-out soccer player.  She then transitioned to bikes and there was no looking back.  Now she is back at Roanoke College to coach a start-up cycling team.  She has great plans for the team and sees no reason why her students could not go on to the Olympics.  After all, Shelley knows the path!

Above: Shelley talks with Dan and John.  Below: A winning moment in Shelley's career.

 

Tune in to listen as Shelley shares all of the back stories with Host, Dan Lucas, and John Carlin -- who share some of their own stories of crashing and recovery.  Dan also tells you how to make sure you don't overtighten your bolts, so you don't crunch the carbon do-dads on your ride!

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
