Getting Woken Up At 2 A.M. Then Getting Wrecked

Author: Adam Baranski & Michael Sharp July 20, 2026 Duration: 29:41
Send us Fan Mail One crash can erase months of planning, and Stage 15 of the Tour de France proves it. We walk through a mountain day that feels unreal on speed alone, then gets even more intense with a major shake-up in the overall standings. Remco Evenepoel lands a huge stage victory on a brutal summit finish, and suddenly the race feels less predictable than it did 24 hours earlier.

There's a particular rhythm to a long ride, a space where conversation flows as freely as the landscape. That's the atmosphere Adam Baranski and Michael Sharp cultivate in their Road Adventures of Cycling Men of Leisure. This isn't a technical gear review or a training log, though the love for the sport is its undeniable heartbeat. Instead, it's the recorded essence of a friendship built on miles, where the journey itself is the destination. You'll hear the banter from a recent gravel grind, the reflective quiet after a hill climb, and stories that stretch far beyond the handlebars, touching on culture, society, and the peculiar places a bike can take you. Each episode feels like rolling alongside them, sharing in the unscripted laughs, the occasional hardship, and the simple, profound joy found on two wheels. Tune in for a genuine connection and a reminder that the best adventures are often about who's riding with you.
