Hello everyone and welcome to episode 55 of the Pink Bike podcast.

This happens to be the one year anniversary of the podcast, which seems pretty crazy.

So thanks to everyone for still tuning in after all these weeks.

Somehow we keep coming up with more things to talk about,

and so it looks like we'll be doing these for a whole lot longer. Keep listening, please.

Today we're going to be talking about staying motivated, especially when there aren't any races to

attend or when it feels like you've been doing the same thing over and over and over again.

For some riders, that means setting a goal, whether that's ascending the height of Everest or maybe something a little less time consuming, like riding a wheelie along

the block. So we get into those. We've all got a bunch of stories about how we stay motivated

and the little challenges that we think up for ourselves. I'm Mike Casmer and with me, we've got

James Smirthwaite. James, how are those wheelies coming along? Weeely, really good.

Very funny.

Yes. We also have Sarah Moore.

Sarah, you've been doing some field trip testing. Do you even still feel like riding a bike

anymore? Well, they were all under $3,000 bikes, so I got back onto my own bike.

And, you know, compared to some of those hard tails it's like

totally a different sport so I have like a fresh respect for my bicycle and I'm excited about yeah

spending long days on my own bicycle we also have Henry Quinney with us Henry is his first time on a

podcast he's also a new addition to the pink bike team and he is no stranger to doing big dumb rides that's

right it's pretty fair to say would you right henry yeah it's not not too far from the mark

yeah so we'll be getting into some of the things he's done but he likes to pedal his bike for a

very very long time and we'll also have christina chepeda joining in a little bit later to talk
