We've got an interview with Neil, formerly of ROAD Mag. What was up with that magazine anyway? We sled right along into an extended listener feedback segment that takes us over the river and through the woods the house of style, the house of new LAWS, the house of French translation, and the house of thanks. Our next p-cast may be a live, participatory affair. Stay tuned for that! Thanks to DeFeet www.defeet.com for listener of the week swag prize.

This installation comes on the heels of last week's technical difficulties with the feedback segment -- we did it, just forgot to hit record. Anyway, we go through last week's mail plus some like hungry uncle through a plate of turkey, spuds, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. On our menu is a mystical haggis fueled ride to south of the border, an ambiguous question from diablo de acero, tucson fantasy camp and an ESPN comparison, stumpy goes to France with his mates and ponders the benefits of a compact chainset, Brodirt NYC checks in with a cx update a canti question, EPO man relates a Lance stalking incident and brush with Michael Ward - he also tries to sneak in an infomercial, The MAN weighs in on the C'dale commuter's question, a scottish wallaby seeks pedaling advise, DERF gets drunk and re-writes a hit from the 70's... Bebe Come Back, a cycling jarhead wonders how to stay cycling fit whilst at sea for 6 months, the Orange badgers us about his centaur shifters, mojo l comes along for the ride, a tall cyclist is enlightened to the way of the camelbak, the j-hole takes the bait, and a Spike Lee film retrospective. Enjoy and the holiday! Thanks to DeFeet www.defeet.com for listener of the week swag prize.

Local News deteriorates, the Frankie Andreu Interview is good, but then we forget to push record for listener feedback. DOHH! Enjoy! Thanks to DeFeet www.defeet.com for listener of the week swag prize.

Buy a t-shirt, they're only $18. In this lovey-dovey podcast we talk about KFC’s bucket of wins and Bert’s bucket of Euros on offer to race for Astana, but first, John G greets in his best haggis eating accent the he does a podcast reset. Local news has John G sitting tight, John K hitting the deck. and a relativley light listener feedback segment that is not Fun Run Robbie Free. Actually, this podcast is over-run with Scot references. LeGimp shares his source of Scot translator, Fun Run wants advice of how to get his after school cycling program rolling, Cannondale Commuter wants to fight the power, and Jen Sprokets tells a tale of what moves in in our absence. As usualy we have to plug and unplug our mics one the fly. Enjoy! Thanks to DeFeet www.defeet.com for listener of the week swag prize.

We're back in the friendly confines of the Two Johns Podcast recording studio after some time away racing & race promoting. As with any podcast following a longer than usual quiet period, this podcast is laden with loads of listener feedback. But first, we have a moment of silence for VDB, Silence-Lotto are now Cadel-less as he makes the run to BMC. Its been a Mud, Mud World in the local news as John gives a brief report of the Gun Club race, and cheeky maneuvers in the closing stages of day 1 of the USGP with good result, John K proves why he does the 35+ race as he does well and promptly injures his back. For our itunes listeners that missed it on the blog, next up is the Jeremey Powers Interview. We chase that with rummaging through emails we want to read, J-Hole lays claim to be the best when Rasta Roadie isn't around, we get a top 10 list of why John G is anti-MTB, Scottish Roadie sends us a foe-ne-tic email in scottenese- John G assists John K with this, we also get a couple recommendations about an http://www.yokozunausa.com/reactionkit.html alternative cable/housing system that may remedy the premature wear and much more- in a surprise, the winner of this week's email of the podcast is someone who remains comfortably numb.

We get asked this among other things in our best podcast ever! The Two Johns both strike out in their picks of the podium of the Men's World Championship Road Race in Mendrisio this past weekend and we applaud Cadel's attack. Radio Free Europe? John G reads an email from Slice about the proposed radio ban, provides education on their use and has his own proposal for how the conerns of radio free racing could be addressed. Local News is short this week, largely consisting of news of an upcoming cross clinic at the Cincinnati Cross races by Molly Cameron and Joachin Parbo and John K goes for a soul ride on the mtb. Our product review segment has us talking about www.forzegps.com Forze GPS, products that address a different aspect of athlete's nutrition. Look for a written review of the product soon on the blog. Thankfully, we get some static on our static, Alva asks about the greatest story ever told, when do you become a true roadie?, John G leaves when asked about which mtb a listener should get & do you dream of BMX bikes? J-Hole provide us with a feedback segment unlike one we have had in a long time. Thanks to DeFeet www.defeet.com for listener of the week swag prize.

Some podcasts have been longer, some have been shorter and some may have even had more information, but none have been better than this one, our best podcast ever! We share our bike love as we review this year's Vuelta: Valverde brings it home, but Moncoutie is the highlight, we make our worlds picks- John G says German, Swiss, Norwegian- John K says Spaniard & Italian and wanna bet? Local news: John G does first cross race of season, marvels at barrier hopping rider, no prep gets you ready for cross, John K gets prepared and says has not had time to race- but actually, I forgot, I did race, but it was quite unremarkable. Listener Feedback is loaded with questions from all over the world: why do we bash the Scots? How do I stretch my bike muscles? Where have the 2 Johns been? The Gentleman Roadie of Portland writes romance fiction, Pedalling Pastor heading to Nepal, who wouldn't love to ride in Missouri? how do I order Two Johns the...? & more. This week's prize is not brought to you by Defeet, but by the Two Johns- a coveted Two Johns T-Shirt. Finally, we have the return of Technology where John G talks about his new cross bike & how great the brakes are, while John K talks about fooling around with mechanical advantages by changing the cable straddle location. We bring some extra energy to this, our best podcast ever!
